Besides that, on the tuning side, just check hot/cold starts, make sure the idle seems to be in check. Have them adjust the fan speeds to kick on a little sooner.

The plate covers the lower air filter, if you don't install it the MAFs get two different readings and the car kicks into some safety mode and goes way rich. Last picture of page 27 of the instructions. The shop that installed mine left it of and caused me all kind of headaches.

^There it is, remember to have them check that plate.
The stillen kit since introduced has shown to be a good kit, but as others have pointed out any expansion can be difficult with how they designed and pieced the kit together. For an out of the box (with custom tune) making 400-450 it is a good kit, after that you need to look elsewhere.
