-Fan Shroud: If you do not opt for one you will need to ziptie the SPAL fans to the radiator. This means that the fans will not be pulling air from the entire surface area of the radiator. Also keep in mind that the OEM fan harness is not compatible with the SPAL units.
-Crash Beam: I don't know about everyone else, but it took me a long fucking time to notch my beam and it was very tiring. I was exhausted afterwards and it took almost 4 hours. If you have a really nice cutting saw and a good air compressor I could see it being easier, but I did not. Not to mention the structural integrity of the car is greatly compromised afterwards. If I could go back in time I would opt for the no cut version. I have heard people say that the placement of the MAF sensor on the charge piping of the no cut version is better.
-Recirculating WG versus Dump Tube: I have the dump tube version, and it is loud. It seriously sounds like Chewbacca butt fucking a jack hammer. The recirculating option is only $150 if I remember correctly, again something I certainly would have opted for in hindsight.

Thanks for the tip!
Do you not suggest having an oil cooler or catch can?
I wish there was just a list of supporting mods that are absolutely necessary, and those that are strongly recommended
Each kit seem to require different parts and that makes it hard to judge what all I need
