S/C Newbie Questions

Ok, I've been toying the idea of possibly getting an S/C for my I30t. Intially, I'll go with the stock boost just to test the waters. I'm sure down the road, I'll want more power, but noise is one of my biggest concerns. I don't need to beat all the cars I see on the road, but I want to at least keep up with the stock cars that are coming out now. For God's sake, even Neons have more horsepower than my I30t.

Now, here's my questions. I'm going with a V2 since it's quieter, plus, I can charge it on a CC. I know that the mounting plate is aluminum and the pulley is plastic. So, what should I get in addition to the S/C? In other words, what are necessities? An ASP pulley to replace the plastic one, right? A BOV? An AFC? Keep in mind, that I'm just sticking with the power right out of the box. I'm sure the bigger injectors, fuel pump, and whatnot are needed more when I'm starting to look at larger gains. Anything should be changed while the thing is getting installed?

Sorry for the newbie questions.

Thanks

Those 3 gauges as slimer said.

if you get the kit from stillen it comes with everything you need except for the gauges. it comes with b.o.v and fuel management already. are you doing the install yourself?

No, I'm not as mechanically inclined, and I would like it completed in a reasonable time. I know the kit comes with everything, but as mentioned, there are some parts that make sense to change during the install, such as the idler pulley. I just wanted to see what else is worth changing/upgrading while the install in commencing.
