Used OEM part advice?

Just upgraded a bunch of stuff in my car:

Intake
DP
Charge pipe
HPFP
Vargas GC turbo

While back I also upgraded to Dinan springs and bump stops.

All original parts are sitting around. My car was a lease but I bought it after the lease so no
Need to lease return. Should I keep them as back up? I can't really imagine a scenario where I'll need the OEM parts. Am I missing anything? Even if something were to break I'd likely replace it with a new aftermarket part rather than revert to OEM, right?

I'm probably going to sell just want to make sure I consider all the options before selling and being stuck without a part I might need in the future.

Also, what do you guys think are fair prices for these things?

I'd keep the stock downpipe and turbo at least. Those are worth $$.

If they're worth money, shouldn't I sell them? Or do you mean they're hard to find so worth keeping? Just wondering what type of need may arise that I might need them…

The latter. I feel like stock emissions stuff will be harder to come by. Could hold onto it and sell it for a pretty penny down the road. I sold my stock DP and kinda regret it if I ever want to sell to someone/dealer that doesn't want the extra loud.

Intake and Cat is something to really hold onto incase of any changes in emission laws in your state. Or if you already live in cali, you should definitely keep it or you're fucked.

Like mentioned, either keep them for emission law reasons, or sell them for cash.

I have a hard time letting "good" parts just be tossed, so I tend to have a shelf in the garage that literally stores them until I sell a car and then they go in the trash. Right now, it's building with my 340 parts.

Some things just aren't worth anything (like swapping out grills), but turbos and DP's (where the catalytic converter is) are.

Yea I have a stock hpfp, stock turbo, stock DP, stock intake and charge pipes, stock springs. Might look into selling some of them.

Intake, charge pipe and springs will be a tough sell. Only people that will really want those are people that tossed their OEM and need to return to stock to sell the car (low market). But the hpfp, turbo, dp people will want.

Sorry to change subject, but I am looking into getting the vargas turbo along with HPFP. Do you mind answering a few questions?

How's the speed?
Did you dyno?
Did you go with the GC or GC+?
Are you on 93 octane or using ethenol?
Is the charge pipe required?
Which HPFP did you go with?
Daily driver?

I like the numbers I see of WMI, but I am looking for something more reliable, which it sounds like you have.

I have the GC, 93 octane custom tune by Cary Jordan (tune in process) no wmi. Not sure if charge pipe is required but I got one, i didn't want to blow the stock one with extra boost. I have a dorch stg 1. Never dyno'd. Feels fast but it's super smooth so there is no sudden jolt so I think it feels slower than it is because acceleration is very linear past full spool. I have a dragy and need to time it but there has been too much traffic on local roads and I can't find a good place to do 60-130 runs. Eventually I'd also like to get an E tune.
