The items I listed you are needed for your ease of assembly and suited for your application. You can use some of your oem sensors but that doesn't cost much to saved since the sensors recomended by MS are hassle free. Me too is using MS recomended sensors. That is something I owe you an explaination of 'why I don't use oem sensors'. You can ask me when we meet. The intake air temp sensor I quote you are specially chosen to work with turbo engines. The IAT sensors found at kedai potong as those fitted to the proton 1.5 are not suitable for turbo application.
There are some additional parts that you have to buy here in Malaysia and I know that it's readily available and the MS supplier don't list it either with their items for sale. That will be an extra around RM50.
When your package arrives, should it be detained by the Customs, Pos Malaysia will notify you of the detention. You can choose to declare to the custom yourself or you can appoint POS Malaysia to declare on your behalf. Of couse there are some fees and duties to pay. You can also intruct POS Malaysia to send it over to your designated adress after clearings, even have it posted to me here in KL.
There are some comment that says that parts to built MS are available in KL. If it's easily available, I would not have to order it from US. Partial kit with PCB, CPU and pressure sensor is enough while other components are fetch here. But that is not true. It may take another 5 year to have your project complete if you try to seek around here. In the end you have to make another parts order which ended up in more expenses.
Whatever it is, it's your money and you are the one that have the right to manage it.

FYI, I already apply for MS dealership and yet to receives approval. One more thing to remember, just like the case of kennethfong, most of us try to dodge around the customs tax.
have a look here:

just calculate how much he have to sell those MS's in UK after paying the tax.
I have my own reason for not using the oem sensors and it's not much to add either.
