AAM fuel return system = 1k Walbro pump = 90
440 injectors = 500
1 step colder plugs = 65
3 gauge cluster = 80
high flow cats = 400
labor = around 1k maybe

the total comes out to be 8380. Without the fuel return system = 7290. Prices based on forgedinternals.com

That's a lot of money! Any ideas about this setup? By the way, what does having EGT gauge do?

Granted he is not finally tuned but that goes to show you that the 380cc injectors are ok. Although Turbonetics is going to be offering some 510s for a good price that also drop in and plug in. But initially the 380s will get you where you need to go...Also keep in mind that the Turbonetics kit replaces the stock cats with a crossover pipe. So if you did want a cat the cat is added on the downpipe from the turbo and there will only be one. Turbo timer I would recommend but is not necessary. Cost is about $100 for a nice one. Boost controller is absolutely not needed unless you plan to raise the boost significantly. So again to clairfy:

Injectors: Only is plans exceed 420-430 RWHP
Turbo Timer: a good addition but not required
Boost Controller: Not needed unless bigger boost is wanted.

Also keep in mind that the exhaust setup is completely altered with any single turbo kit. Essentially the kit comes with a crossover pipe which goes in place of the stock cats and feeds the turbo. So basically your y pipe and stock cats are replaced by a crossover pipe and a single downpipe. Check out the install istructions for the Z kit here to get you a better idea of the setup: http://members.***.net/turbonetics35...icsinstman.pdf

I've been reading from some other people that it is safe out the box and some that say tuning is essential. Any feedback would be great.
