Brake lines won't do anything other than make the pedal firmer. They work great for that, but do exactly **** for stopping distance and fade resistance.

You need to start thinking about heat management. You get the oil cooler with the kit, but you should spring for the radiator. That leads to a thermostat, and silicone hoses since you're already draining the system. Then a **** ton of header wrap and a turbo blanket.

Boost and AFR gauges at minimum, add EGT, oil pressure and water temp if you're going nuts.

A boost controller of some type. I've got a manual, which works fine and is cheap. Electronic ones are better, and which one is the best it its own can of worms.

Your tuner will have more to add as far as the specifics of your tune. You'll get a base map that's plenty safe and makes good power, but thou shalt get a custom dyno tune from someone who has done multiple FI Zs.
