Default check list before taking my car to be tuned?

ive been installing my turbo parts over the last week while ive had time and will be setting up a tune date more than likely on wed (8/22).

things ive done/checked:
install manifold
turbo
wastegate
dt and dp and exhaust
drain
feed
fuel pump
changed oil
wideband
intercooler
MBC with vacuum lines ran

still have to install:
MAP sensor
injectors
Change spark plugs
install intercooler piping (waiting for it to come back from my welder)
install vacuum line to boost gauge
oil press guage

i checked for leaks and there are none from the feed line or drain. anything else i might be missing or over looked?

It really, realLY, REALLY helps to actually search. First link on the Google -

http://www.kingmotorsports.com/c-177...checklist.aspx

...one of MANY.

You can't install the injectors or a higher reading MAP sensor without setting up the EMS for it first.

I don't see an EMS listed. Not even a basemapped ECU. Maybe he's towing it to the tuner?

make sure you have the gasket ring installed on the wastegate. i made the mistake and didnt install it, so the tuner had me install it when he noticed i didnt have it in, lol!

Do you mean that metal fire gasket/ring that goes on the manifold side? Yeah I have that in there. But almost didn't until I noticed it sitting in the box

For me I didn't know what to do with it
Synapse engineering instructions suck, so I brought it with me to the tuner
