don't waste your money on an fmic, instead get a good smic like an ARC.
The nismo thermo will make your engine run cold, unless you're running something that will yield more control over engine temps, your daily will guzzle gas as it's trying to warm up the engine. Stick to oem unless you're using electric fans with a fan controller. The test pipe, don't waste your money on. They yield very little in terms of real power. Just another liability especially on a street driven car. Fines for something like that can cost more than an s13. Worth the risk? Probably not. The hot pipe is good, but where's a quality bov in this setup? Blitz's are notorious for leaking later. Get a real deal bov like an hks or sard. Where is the aftermarket wastegate actuator? The oem one leaks. Consider getting some rocker arm stoppers as well if you plan on tracking this thing. Don't forget something as basic as an air filter, ARC or Apexi ftw. Get a boost controller to turn up the boost a bit on your t25. I would suggest the Apexi AVC-R. Haven't had problems with the Profec B spec II although, I'm sure some folks will yell "oh noes!11" to that one due to it's tendancy to underboost a little, although it's hold is very consistent and ramps up smoothly with no spiking from my own experience.
The afc neo is a waste of money for you as well. get the afc II, it cuts out the garbage of the integrated vtec controller and will be cheaper and simpler to operate. No fancy colors though.
Off a t25, 220-250whp is gonna be rough. I'd suggest the t28 off an s15 spec R. Ball bearing, and can take you to ~300 without too much drama.
