Kermit,
Any more info?
Or perhaps a more precise question?

(Perhaps others know more about your car, but I for one am struggling to help with the info supplied).

Only things that come to mind is you might want the little rings to locate the new inlet manifold, and maybe some of the long type brass nuts.

Cheers
Matt

Sorry was half asleep when I wrote this. I'm wondering if I need to upgrade the fuel pump or anything like that? Or will I be able to use everything I have (stock 998) and fit it and go?

you can use the mechanical fuel pump for sure.

i prefer a electric one but that works & worked for many years.

what needles are in the SU's? how worn or not are they? can you tune it yourself without driving it on the road after you change all that?

if it's running and *should* pass a roadworthy, then do that before you start changing things - when you take it to a guru to tune it for you, they'll want to drive it

Ok cool so my pump will be fine thanks for that :), can always upgrade to an electric one later on.

It's fully reconditioned so they're new? I'm going to get the mechanic to fit and tune these with the exhaust at the same time :)
