05C 5AT project plan. suggestions?

Well thanks to MOD bugs, Im planning huge project on my G on August or something.
Of courese including Vortech SC, wheels and suspension, full body kits.

Please anybody give me some advice???

1. Engine F/I (estimate $7000-7500 installed)
Vortech super charger full kit. safe and reliable boost.
Crawford Header, CATS, MREV2

2. Volk GT-S Ti gunmetal, tein flexible coilover. stillen sways.
Got a rims from Chris, he is the man of deal!!

3. Full kenstyle bodykits with CF arounded. + datasystem trunk lip
(This maybe good match with volk gunmetal wheels)

Im actually not sure how is my G exactly look like after mod all of these parts. thinking of 12G + x for all of these.

Please give me any suggestion on performence or recommand good tuning shops in TX area.

Post some pics if any guys have a similar set up like mine.

1 - WTF is a 6AT? Did you mean 6MT or 5AT?

2 - Unless you're doing the SC install yourself, I'd slice off a $10,000 bill for the install plus the tuning and dyno work you'll need to dial it in.

3 - I take from the last part of your post (kinda hard to understand actually) that you're looking at $12,000 total for the cost of your project? Or is it $12,000 + x with x being an unknown. It's my opinion that there is NO WAY IN H#LL you get all this done for $12K. Bumping $20K (or more) seems more reasonable.

tuning and dyno should be around $500-700

install would be $3k for a twin turbo, less for a single turbo or SC.

not sure where you're getting the $10k figure from...

he might make it in $12k minus the wheels and body kit...

I was figuring they'd be buying it (the vortech supercharger) retail. If so, then they're looking at around $5K or so just to get the kit in the door. Then add the install, then add the tune.

Ok. Used kit, 7K seems reasonable. New kit, probably closer to 10K. Definitely not 3K.

For the F/I
Vortech SC Full $4500-5000
Install & Tune $1000
Gauge $600-800
Crawford Header & CATS $1600

Please correct me if I need more cost in F/I from above.
For the install, either self-install w/ some help or shop install(found 2 reliable shop with good $)
+ Luckily I can get some parts cheaper $$. Total F/I under $8000

For body, About $1200 for replica KS body kits.
I got 2 bodyshop choices but $$$ not sure yet. so I put "X"

Maybe possible to make under $13G if I did self-install. IMO
And if I ask tuning shop, cost will be around 15G-17G which still within my budget.

Im still newbie when it comes to MOD things, and need more research.
So correct me kindly + give good advice .

If you're thrifty, patient, and lucky, you could probably find deals like you are talking about, but just in case, plan on an extra $2-5k.

one of the most important parts of going FI is to have money saved aside incase something goes wrong (blown motor).

First im gonna put shoes and suspension early next week.

I just ordered Tein Felx + Volk GT-S commin next week.
Thanks Chris, I could make good deals on wheel sets.

Oh yeah. Im just curious how hard the suspension install comparing to other bolt-ons.
I want to try self-install if further alignment needed other than installation.

Will post pics asa i get that shoes with nice drop~
