I should be finally getting my car out of storage within the next month. I've been stockpiling parts over the winter, I have a nice little collection. I'm trying to figure out how I should tackle this. My car is all stock now, and runs fairly well. The stuff I have so far is:

-Adjustable FPR, DW fuel pump w/ hotwire, 42 lb injectors w/ 93 octane TT chip, adjustable wastegate, 160 Tstat, frame braces, sway bar, Seafoam to clean out the engine, stereo, speakers, headliner, visors, O2 sensor, new MAF pipe, K&N air filter, weather stripping, scanmaster, boost, oil pressure, water temp gauges, and fuel pressure gauge.

I have no idea which order I should be doing these things in, I know I have a full tank of 91 octane in it right now, so I'll have to burn that all before the chip.

Looking forward to hopefully enjoying an entire summer with the car, since I got it at the end of last August, and 10 days later the transmission went.
 
Start with the fuel wire up the hotwire kit. Get the gas tank emptied. Fuel pump, then injectors/ FP regulator. Also check your injector harness might be time to replace that too. Fuel filter as well.
As for the 160 thermostat you might need a new housing too. Originals where very thin and they bend and break sometimes on removal. Sounds like you have a start just do it one at a time and enjoy.
 
Well I can tell you this. Do the injectors last. You will cuss scream and bust the $h!t out of your knuckles getting them out. Quite the fun task if they are the originals. Make sure you have spare o-rings for them as well. You may cut one on the way in. Take a guess why I said that? Lube them up good too with a dab of Vaseline on the O-ring. Most of what you are going to be doing is fairly easy and you should be able to do it all in a day. I wouldn't do all of them at once them drive it though. I would do a few and then drive it gently and see if you did anything wrong. Once everything checks out good move to the next project. Change the chip the same time you do the injectors.
