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...

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 .

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~
