NGK plugs, but not the iridium plugs.
Factory wires.
Also, change the fuel filter, it never hurts.

I got the K & N off slowboy racing it was only 69.99 and it came with a K & N filter and a metal adapter to install it.

for a gst, IMO injen makes the best intake for it. You could get like matt said just a filter and an adapter, but really i would much rather have the hard piping as well. And injen makes the best. For a turbo car there is no such thing as a cold air intake and a short ram intake. They only make one kinda which stays in the engine bay so i guess you could call it a short ram, but the naming is kinda pointless.

And the fuel filter on your car is located on the firewall, near the middle toward the passenger side a bit and lower than the battery
