Decided on/ordered a few parts I wasn't sure on:
FIC BlueMax 1250cc
-These should be more than enough for when I change my setup in the future.
FuelLab Mini Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
-This will allow me to re-wire my Walbro 400lph (STM Re-wire Kit).
Stock Fuel Rail
-Shouldn't hinder performance, and it already has an -8an fitting welded on.
JMFab Large Catch Can
-Two -10an Fittings (ran from -10 off head)
-One -6an Fitting (ran from balance shaft inspection hole).
JMFab 3" Speed Density Intake
-Non-recirculating.

Unfortunately, in my area I have no E85, so my break in miles will be on 93 octane. However, once my tune is finalized I would like to pick up a 55 gallon drum of E98 from Ignite Racing Fuels and run that during the summer time. I set up my fuel system in such a way that it will run great on both pump or corn.
Lesson learned: You really don't need that much injector, and, above a certain size injector, the run awful on pump gas. Ie. I bought FIC 1650s and returned them for FIC 1250s after learning that the 1650s will be terrible on pump gas.
As for MAP, they're awesome. Adam's pricing is always incredible, and he's always willing to make suggestions on setups rather than just taking orders. They really take care of their customers.

I'm finally home from school for the summer, so updates will be made frequently.
First note, here is some information I've gathered about venting your crankcase from the Balance Shaft Inspection Hole in the front of the block:
The bolt size in question is a 10mm x 1.25.
For those of us who don't have space for a straight fitting, I'm utilizing a 10mm x 1.25 banjo bolt, to a 10mm to -6AN banjo fitting, then routed to my catch can.
I can't find the banjo fitting anywhere online, but the fitting guy I use made one for me. To get that fitting you can contact JNZ Tuning, and he'll be able to get you one.
Just thought I'd share this, as it saves quite a bit of space over a 10mm x 1.25 to -6AN straight fitting, and for those running bigger turbos, this is crucial.
I'll throw some pictures up when I get my block back!
Second, I picked up some sweet stuff today:
First, my custom JMF Catch Can. I had him make me a large catch can with no sight gauge, with two -10AN fittings (Valve Cover), and one -6AN fitting (BS Inspection Hole). They're in order so the lines should be easy to mount. I'll mount this somewhere near the fuse box.
Second, my custom JMF 3" Speed Density Intake:
Third, my Oil Filter Housing Turbo Oil Feed Kit that I made for HALF THE PRICE OF FP'S KIT. I got this through Paul at JNZ Tuning. It utilizes an FP Filter, but he pre-made all of the lines and saved me half of the outrageous price FP charges.
I wanted to put together a turbo feed line kit, but didn't want to pay the price of FP's, so I made my own FOR HALF THE PRICE, while still using FP's filter.
I had some stuff already, but here are the majority of the part numbers for yah'll! This was through Paul at JNZ Tuning, BTW. (Ignore the -10AN fittings on the invoice).
Here's a shot of the complete kit:
So, if you're into saving money like I am, I made this for about $130 total, as compared to $250. All lines/fittings are of great quality.
Save on! 
I finally got my 60K kit, and all the random gaskets I'll need to throw this bad boy back together, so expect the motor to be in soon!
