Help with my S/C shopping list please!!

Hi guys,
I recently took ownership of my third Mx5, a stunning Mk2 Phoenix 1.6, immaculate with FSH and some well chosen upgrades (Rota Grids, coilovers, smoothed paintwork, Racing Beat exhaust, custom roof etc), it really is lovely.
I was all set to buy a second hand Supercharger kit off EBay yesterday but the seller withdrew it at the last minute, I mailed him but never heard back, very frustrating! Anyway, I'd arranged the money pre-emptively so am now thinking I'll just put the kit together myself; that's where I need some guidance :-).
I have the following which I think covers the main items but would value any advice on what else I need before I take the plunge.
- M45 Supercharger - EBay c.£300 (am aware it needs to be MX5 compatible)
- TR Lane fitting kit - £400
- Intercooler and ducting - Universal Intercoolers - £300
- Injectors - RX8 Yellow Tops - EBay c.£120
- Clutch - Flyin Miata Happy Meal with lightened flywheel - £350
Nick at Skuzzle will provide the P&P ECU and undertake fitting and tuning so that's all covered.
So what am I missing?!
Many thanks in advance.

MAP sensor
Wide band o2 sensor
Maybe a different crank sensor
dummy throttle body or second throttle modified to take a second cable
with the Tim Lane kit, I'd also replace the bypass pipe with a metal one as the silicon one that i was provided with can collapse under a vacuum rendering the bypass ineffective
Exhaust heat-wrap as you'll need to remove the heat shield to make it all fit, and this will help keep the engine bay temps down
