Remember that if you have an 06-08 s2k, you have a returnless fuel line system.
So you can't run a dry kit, which uses increased fuel pressure to supply extra fuel.
The problem with wet kits is keeping the bottle pressure stable. If you dyno tune your car and jet it at 1300lbs of bottle pressure then start to run low pressure later on because the bottle is cold, you will run less n2o, but the added fuel will still be the same. So you will run rich.
The opposite happens if you have a heated up full bottle and have 1500lbs of bottle pressure, the amount of n2o will increase while the added fuel will remain the same. This is usually worse, because it cause you to run a higher shot and leaner at the same time. You have to run a bottle heater to maintain the correct pressure and keep the from getting cold after repeated runs. A remote bottle pressure gauge that you can see from the driver's seat is nice to have as well.
The Noszle system that holley makes is my favorite nitrous kit. It sits in place of your stock fuel injector to spray n2o and fuel, but allows the stock fuel injector to be installed in the middle of it and operate like normal. Kinda hard to explain, but here is picture.
I haven't run n2o on an s2k yet, but I might. I ran it for a couple years with great success on 03' vr6 vw gti.

I didn't see the FPR on your list. ???
I don't really know that I have an opinion on used kits, but CCR has done a number of used kit installs for people (not S2000's however), and it has proven to be enough of a PITA that we now prefer to avoid it, and charge extra for any time spent tracking down missing parts. If I were buying a used kit, I'd want a complete parts list, plus a list of all the parts I'd be getting. Then, before I'd buy the kit, I'd find sources for all the missing parts and determine the costs and delays that might be involved. I'd rather buy new, but can't think of any good reason not to buy used as long as you can determine your total cost before starting to write checks.
PS. BTW, I can't look at a list of parts that you'll get and tell you what's missing. You have got to do that yourself. It's a part of the cost that you pay in labor rather than cash.
