Hey, do you have any idea what that setup is gonna cost you?  And no,  you don't need a FPR, since you have the JWT ecu on your list.
A T3 would get you plenty of boost, since z31.com says it is good on a 3.0L v6 up to 14 psi.  And this is a lot more air to push than our 2.4L.
I would get a t3/4 though.  It just seems like the thing to do.  Since you will have the JWT ecu, and intercooler, if you get a larger turbo, you will have room to upgrade.
A lot of people get a turbo bug, and gotta go faster.  Duy, PSI240sx, Boosteds14, Chris May.  They are all switching or switched their turbos.  Cuz you'll realize you can go faster, after putting $1k into your car on pistons and rods and injectors.  Then you crank the boost, cuz you're a guy, and thats what we do, and you'll hit the limits of a T3.  Better to have a larger turbo, proven on Boosted's car to run 22psi, than pay $xxx.xx for the t3 and have to find a t3/4 for more $$$.
On a side note, I think I will have 5 gauges.  3 in a HKS Din-sized panel and stick it in the slot under the radio, and 2 on the a-pillar.  The A-pillar will be the most looked at ones, BOOST, and Oil Pressure.  Cuz a gain or loss in either will blow a car up.  Then in the Din Panel will be a Fuel pressure, EGT, and Oil Temp.
