Effects of Intake/Pully/Cat Back Exhaust mods

Getting ready to purchase a few toys on my '06...Milltek Cat Back Exhaust, 15% Pulley, Intake and colder plugs. Which "Idiot" lights on the dash after install should I expect to light up? Are they easy to reset/turn off? Should I or can I reset the ECU after I am all done? Also, any other worries with an upgrade like this? Clutch wear? Engine mounts? How about my MPG? Thanks folks! I'll get a pic up here soon.


My apologies in advance if I am re-posting or starting an incorrect thread or something else.

Expect no idiot lights, those are all safe mods. Gas milage may drop a bit because of your right foot. Clutch should be fine. I ran all this mods plus more for over 330,000 miles all on the original clutch.

I am rebuilding the engine now at 365000, but here is what the clutch looks like. Still has life left.....

You should be fine unless you are running a decat system or something. MPG will drop as you will like the milltek sound and want to drive it harder

Hi folks. Got all my Mods (for now) done. Woo-Hoo! Everything went really smooth and I'm super impressed! Supercharger really "whooshes" and the Milltek sounds nice and mellow unless I really get into it. Then "roooaaaarrr". Much quicker and more responsive too. Suspension and wheels are next...thanks again for the help. Getting a lot of good info here on NAM.
