I'd strongly recommend that you stay with either the Japanese name brands (HKS, Blitz, JUN, etc.), or the best-known domestic brands (Sound Performance, RPS, Boost Logic, Full Race, WOTM, Virtual Works, etc.). Out of the bunch, Sound Performance gets my top recommendation.

The oem radiator is fine unless you're going to be hard-core roadracing in the south in the summer. However, the PWR is a driect bolt-up (only the outside edge of one oem radiator frame bracket needs to be very slightly bent in a location you'd never see when looking at the car or the engine bay). An oil cooler isn't necessary either, except for very hardcore amateur roadracing. A pulley set adds to the looks, but not performance, except the crank pulley (ie. harmonic dampener) - that needs to be replaced with either a BoostLogic or a Titan (TMS) pulley.

On the fuel system, don't peacemeal it - get a complete kit from Sound Performance or Boost Logic, etc. The complete kit may be "pricey", but 1) it will 100% work with perfect flow and perfect fitment the first time you try to install it, 2) it'll save you hundreds dollars in spare parts if you try to build it yourself (trust me I know this first-hand), and 3) did I mention it'll actually work (i.e. do the job and keep enough fuel flowing to your engine)? Literally hundreds of hours go into perfecting a fuel kit, and as easy as it might sound, it absolutely is not.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
