Other than that is gets pricey and less reliable, things like headers, fuel pumps, fmic bigger injectors turbo etc......

I would drop the chav valve, it does nothing but make the car sound chavved up tbh. Put the oe recirc back on.
Get rid of the dawes device, this isnt needed when tek 3'ing
As foxmod says, get a full de-cat exhaust system, Scoobysport and Hayword and Scott / scoobyexhausts are the best on the market imo but tbh i wouldnt quibble with the likes of anything say the likes of Scoobyworld or TSL offer. This is defo money well spent before you go tek 3.
I would invest in an Sti panel filter aswell, by far the safest way to let your newly modded car breath
forget induction kits for now, just do the panel filter
If you are running say 1.3 boost then you need to upgrade your intercooler hoses (3no.) i would suggest a set of intercooler hoses from say Graham Goode
Finally i would recommend a set of gauges and if running full de-cat i think you should consider an EGT (exhaust gas temp.) gauge. As the car is now going to be running hot, you need to visually see the temp. This is another reason for you to get the de-cat done before , as the mapper will erase the error code that your oe egt gauge shows on the CEL (your cel will come on because the egt will be so hot it wiil fry within a couple of weeks at most). Then you need to get a boost gauge (to see possible boost spikes) and lets say a oil temp gauge, which is always a good thing to have. Convieniently those three could be used and bought as a 3 gauge pod set. The only other gauge you would / could possibly need is an Oil pressure gauge.
I hope that helps as i'm a little inebria. inhebriated...... inebreha.......... Pissed atm
