Hey Jeremy, get the clutch, an intercooler, and an oil cooler. Make sure that the oil cooler and intercooler will fit if they are both to be front mounted. Since you will be going stock boost, you can use the blue box for up to 8 psi and the money spent on the IC and OC will be well worth it. My car runs much cooler since I put the oil cooler on.
If money is a factor in getting the parts, wait on getting the fuel pump and fpr, especially since you are not going for high boost for a while. As far as gauges, I am getting an oil pressure gauge next and an A/F after that. I would suggest that you get a boost controller, electronic if you got the bucks, manual if not.
If money is not holding you back, get everything you mentioned, however, I would guess that it is a factor and getting the IC, OC, BC, and oil pressure gauge are all wise choices.

I was thinking about running sleeper and getting a IC off a Eclipse and mounting it in the bumper for now until I want to turn the boost up (past 10lbs and after internals etc..), since I can probably pick one up dirt cheap from a friend (like 50$ or maybe cheaper). Oil cooler is a good idea though. So do you think stock ignition and fuel would be ok for greddy 5.5 lbs of boost?
