You already have a boost controller but...

I've found the data logging capabilities of the e-01 to be invaluable. It can record 3 hours of RPM, boost and AFR. That's the key to tuning this thing. It so nice to have it all in one neat little package.

You may want to upgrade your tires/wheels, and suspension so you will be able to handle the increase of power.

I have the MS Flywheel but stock Clutch.... What Clutch would work well with the turbo? I was maybe thinking Spec Stage 2.... And I am not gonna tune this myself i am very new to this so the e-01 just seemed over my head at the moment but maybe down the road I can

Go for an ACT unit.

Also might want to look for a A/F meter or an Exhaust Gas Temperature gauge.

Oops, sorry missed that.

Might want to get the Greddy Support Tool software if you plan on modifying/tuning the EManage unit

Unless they have the Greddy Software themselves, then yes they need it.

When you start getting the thing in tune, you'll def. need a way to put the power down. I was spinning my wheels all the way through 2nd gear if the road was even just a little moist. I went to the BFG g-force KDW-2's in 245x40. Now I can put the power to the road.
