Adding some upgrades to my '04 Turbo!

Do not install anything on the car made by Agency Power. It's all utter garbage including this intake. Skip the Chinese made intercoolers. They will be worse the stock. Install OEM 997.2 ICs. I would not install the Aasco flywheel, OEM 964RS lwfw is much better choice, it's lighter and cheaper. One thing I've learned in all these years modding these cars is that a vast majority of the aftermarket parts absolutely suck. Stick with OEM parts or OEM Porsche Motorsport parts.
A Guard LSD is the best performance mod hands down. Do it now while the Gearbox is out. I would get rid of the clutch accumulator set up and associated assist lines and replace with the non assist OEM GT2 clutch parts. Good luck...

Change out the coolant bottle if hasnt already been done since you have the engine out.
I have the same divertor valves Champion (Forge) for three years work great, no issues!

Wanted to do a little update. Pros and Cons of what I put on this car 
Sometimes we can make good decisions.. sometimes expensive mistakes. I learned some lessons.
The Eibach bars and Bilstein B8 Sport shocks are Amazing. Very little body roll, firm, and road handling around corners is amazing. Eibach bars are set to full stiff back and middle setting front. Discovered the stock shocks were sagging and resting on the bump stops. Good thing I took care of this.
Powerflex bushings are awesome. They tighten everything. Handling is very predictable. Also, Torque Solutions Engine and Transmission mounts solved the problem I was having with missing gears while shifting. Come to find out, The stock engine and trans mounts were thrashed and needed to be replaced anyway.
Headers, 68mm Plenum, Forge Diverter Valves and Intercoolers give a nice boost of power and throttle response.
Now, if I can go back the only thing I wish I never did was the AASCO 13lbs. Lightweight Flywheel. It just is NOT worth the loud chatter and noise it makes. The flywheel is obnoxious and annoying. The chatter gave me a headache. I just don't even want to drive the car despite the huge benefits from the other upgrades. So... 50 miles later, I am spending big to get that thing OFF the car and the stock dual mass wheel back on.

Be mindful of the headers and keep your stock ones... Lot of aftermarket ones tend to crack overtime where the primary pipe meets the flange at the head.
Lightweight flywheels are certainly not for everyone.
