what gaskets are reuseable and what ones need to be replaced, like the throttle body gasket, the uim to lim gasket, those kind of gaskets. and when going single and you take off the solinoid rack what do you do with the wire connections, the ones that are differnt colors, that are part of the main harness? cut them? get a new harness? i just dont know. and the final question is, on the lim on the side facing the sec. fuel rail what is that big *** thing bolted on to it and will an upgraded fuel rail fit with it on there? sorry for all the questions at once, but any help would be awesome.

get all new gaskets, it's not worth saving $5.00 to have to do the job twice.
I reccoment just taping all the connectors onto the existing harness so they are sealed freom the elemnts, sometimes cutting the plugs off leads to problems.
That big thing is the air control valve, aftermarket rail will not fit with it on, you need to take it off and put on a block off plate.

trust me do not cut the harness, I learned from experience. I also run the PFC. Just tape everything neatly and you will hardly notice they are there. What I did was to tape off all the "branches" from the main harness, to the main harness itself

I got a extra harness just in case! I was thinking about put a stock motor back in my car a selling it and the cut harness would cause a problem.
If you don't do a go job you might have problems. turbovr6 idea will work well too
I hate cutting ****.
