A lot of people (me included) highly suggest an upgraded bypass valve. It depends on how much performance you plan on doing, but for a mild setup, the Bosch 110 Sport BPV is an inexpensive and good choice. It looks like the stock BPV, but you'll get better response out of the supercharger.
If you're looking for more performance (through supporting mods) then go with a different bypass valve. A quick look through the FI section and you'll see one in particular that is adjustable and gets a lot of good reviews.
Upgrading the clutch would be a reallly good idea too. I've had a slight issue at the race track because the stock clutch was slipping. Normal everyday driving you shouldn't have any problems though. Might as well go with a lighter flywheel when changing the clutch so you don't have to pay someone to take the transmission apart more than once.
The above aren't exactly necessary, but they do help.

I just got the bosch 110 bpv installed and I do notice quicker response with it. Now im just waiting for my MMW header, NST light weight crank pulley, NST supercharger pulley, Viniati lip kit, and B&M transmission cooler all to arrive in the mail.
If you want the 110 bpv then I would highly reccomend this site, they are very professional and have very fast shipping! You get a tracking number right away.
