Default the K04 project begins again..... have questions and need comments!

alright guys.... afterinstaling a K04before and learning the hard way of parts you should buy when installing the turbo, i think im ready to do it again. Not to mention this is my third a4 now. I think i have all the parts i need (i wanted to do everything all at once) but definatley correct me if im wrong. I want to make sure this will last for awhile and not give me these F-ing headaches like before. These are the parts I have and PLEASE tell me if i need something else for a safe and lasting install.......
-K04-015 turbo from AWE-Tuning
-GIAC k04 chip.....getting sent in for updated file
-Just ordered full 2.5" tech tonics borla exhaust system
-Tech tonics 2.5" Downpipe
-Tech tonics 2.5" Hi-flow cat
-Replica Fordged DV (might buy a different one, bought off ebay.. and kinda having second thoughts)
-2.5" Intercooler piping and intercooler (making custom myself)
-5 bar fuel pressure regulator
-Amco aluminum lightweight flywheel
-South Bend stage 2 or 3 clutch kit (not sure which one I installed) its been awhile
-All necessary gaskets and hardware

Questions:
-What injectors should I buy for best quality and performance?
-Where is a good site to buy Rs4 motor mounts?
-Greedspeed or Apr snubmount???

If I have forgot about anything please let me know... I want to make sure I have everything before I go further and have everything installed. I had many problems last time i put a K04 on so im doing the right way this time...... Thanks for any and all help!!!

Dont forget 1 heat range cooler plugs-NGK bkr7e

If you get the big injector k04 file i think youll need a vr6 maf housing and AFPR set to around 3 bar.. i might be wrong.

yah i have all he gaskets that are used for the kit, I had to purchase them from AWE since i am using this turbo from a previous cari had it installed on. do you have any suggestions on buying injectors? Also anything else i may need to look into. Writing this i forgot i need to buy an intake (duh) but other than that, i THINK i covered almost everything

yes to the 7e plugs
yes to the t.i.p
labree has a cheaper hfc

ecs has rs4 mounts, i think
abd the greed speed snub is alot cheaper (and wont need trimming)

what file are you getting for the k04 ?
and you should ask giac what size injectors they reccomend.. i think it may be the tt225 injectors

i already have the hfc from my previous vehicle so buying it doesnt matter anymore. Im in the processof trying to get a hold of someone at AWE to see what they recommend for injectors and a couple software questions... but the damn lineis always busy. For the software i have to make sure i get the right file since i have a 2001 and i no its different for certain years (pc-16?, hammer, somethin...)
