No upgrades needed. They rock stock, but in the end its all about preference, only thing i would consider changing is the trigger, if you have the cash look at the Critical UL frame triggers, best trigger for DM's, end of!.

Hopper wise, what ever takes your fancy, all loaders work fine with them. I run my DM with a Reloader, and have never had a issue.

no upgrades really needed, maybe different sizes barrel backs for different types of paint and maybe a new board as i dont think they have the new mills boards in them yet do they? or does it depend when he bought it?

hopper - realoder B or Torque used both and have had nothing wrong with either of them

as they have all ready siad there is no need for upgrades, unless you want to change the trigger.
and like they have said above, use any hopper you want.:)

check what board you have, ideally you want the 08 UL board vers 3.0
any thing else wont have up to date fire modes.

you can contact dye and get one for like 8 quid posted or upgrade to an aftermarket board .

other than that, get a .692 back for the ultralight barrel and you are dandy :)

you dont need a REALLY fast hopper if you play tournaments, its only 12bps now i think, 13.3 i think if your planning to play psp ;)

as mentioned, reloaders etc magna will suffice, all personal preference :)
