That's a really exceptionally nice looking example, I'd also be highly inclined to leave it stock looking, especially if your already more than happy with the performance.
As for the part's you have some of them are worth quite a bit, some not so much, some are worth retaining as spares.
I suspect the cams are a pair of 7A item's, they give a bit more top end, especially with a bigger turbo. They're quite sought after if that's what indeed they are, would need much better pic's to be able to ID them though.
The MAF is an RS2 unit, no real advantage over stock, they're identical internally, just the end screens are different, valuable though if in good working order. I'd certainly keep that as a spare as genuine new replacements don't exist any longer.
The windage tray looks like a good used stock one, there will already be one fitted to your engine, though again I'd also keep this as a spare as it's not worth a huge amount, though if you wanted a new one you'd probably be unable to find one.
The inlet manifold is from an AAN engine, worth a few quid but nothing special, it can be used to shorten the inlet tract, however the existing 3B item flow's the best out of all the stock 20VT inlet manifolds. I'd sell this.
The exhaust manifold again is nothing special, looks like one of the eBay specials that use to cost about £150 new, nothing really wrong with one of these, but fitment requires doing away with the airbox and lots of custom work with oil/water pipelines, exhaust etc. I'd sell that as well.
The H beam conrods are stronger than stock and used when going for anything over RS2+ spec (380 BHP), though it's actually more the associated increase in torque that bends stock ones. Again I'd sell these if you have no plans to increase the performance, what their worth will vary wildly depending on the make of them.
The Turbo looks like some sort of K26/7 hybrid, depending on condition and spec this could be worth a lot of money or not so much. Would need more detailed pic's to be able to give you some idea of what it is.
The downpipe looks like quite a nicely made 3" item, will flow much better than the stock 3B one, though only really worth bothering with if going for anything larger than a stock turbo. Fitting it would however require some more pipe as well as fabrication/welding to mate it up to the Miltek system, could be worth hanging onto see below...
Do you know what turbo and exhaust manifold the car is currently running? I ask because the spec you list is a little odd, RS2 injectors at 3 bar (standard 3B fuel pressure at the rail) flow a bit more than stock 3B items so will not be correctly matched to a generic chip set from MRC for the original K24 turbo, the car will be running a touch rich.
However a/the previous owner may have fitted them to go with an RS2 turbo and exhaust manifold, then the fuel pressure regulator would have been changed for a 7A (4 bar) item as MRC did do generic chip sets for this spec (or at least I think they did). Or he may of asked MRC for a custom map to go with those injectors for some other reason, perhaps the previous owner could help clarify what's going on here?
I have encountered an S2 once sold as a stock 3B but actually running full RS2+ spec.
And of course....
