Accessories:

Boost Leak Tester:
http://www.turboboostleaktesters.com...22-%5D-/Detail
This is what I use, I install it on the intake of the Vortech unit itself, pressurize it with my tire inflator and listen to leaks. Pretty straight forward.

Gauges:
I use PLX DM-6 Gauges, when used with the PLX Sensor Modules I can change which gauge shows what. I could have both showing AFR's on both banks, showing boost, or any other sensors I have. I also have a DM-100 gauge that can read 4 parameters from the OBD2 port and display them on the DM-100 gauge or the DM-6 gauges. The DM-6 Gauges can display line graph and min/max values. You can also setup a warning based on 2 parameters, like your AFR going above 14:1 while your Boost is above 6 PSI.

This is what I bought:

I also have an Autometer A-Pillar dual pod and will soon have a SLP steering wheel gauge pod.

Water/Methanol Kit:
Water/Methanol kit will allow you to run 91 octane gas but when you spray will increase the octane to 104 or higher. This will allow less knock retard and can also decrease the Air Intake Temperature. The best way to do this though is to relocate the IAT sensor into the charge pipe just before the throttle body. I use Snow Performance Stage 2 kit, but I would highly recommend looking at an AIS kit, they have a meth tank that will sit perfectly in the trunk on the driver side. I unfortunately had a subwoofer there and couldn't use it.

Intake Air Temperature Relocation:
This will allow an accurate reading of the air temperature going into the intake manifold. As your boost increases so does the temperature. Even though it does get cooled down by the intercooler the temperatures will rise the longer you are in boost. Your true IAT could be 40 degrees higher than what the sensor on the MAF saw. I will post part numbers when I get a chance to get everything together.

Oil Catch Cans:

Air Filter Rain Guard:
Airaid Filter Wrap: Part # 799-450
This is used to prevent rain from soaking the filter. Filter can still get wet if you dunk it in water, but a Camaro is not a great sea-faring vessel.
