UH OH!!! I've pulled out the jack stands again......Muuhaahaa.
I've decided to put my car under the knife yet again.
The turbonetics is gone and replaced with a greddy twin turbo setup w/ Speed Force Racing intercoolers and piping. I wanted the SFR intercoolersdue to the fact that there are no aftermarket bumpers for the 05-06 sedans. Also, I am not willing to get rid of my front bumper support!!! I'll post more pics later on; I am at work right now.

I'm almost done...I just haven't had much time to get it done this week. I am only able to get a couple hours in here and there. for example, last night, I was wrenching from midnight to 3AM.
The install is a PITA. It can be done on jackstands without pulling the motor as I am demonstrating, but it is not worth it.......Pulling the motor is a much better plan! It would help if Greddy gave more than 3 steps to their instructions:
Step 1) Remove stock items.
Step 2) Install turbo kit.
Step 3) install emanage. (not doing that one. )

end of this year
Planning to have it may be end of this year. So not quite in the near future, but soon in the future.
Plenty of time for you to tweak and learn about the Greddy TT, so that I can syphen your knowledge and lessons learned.
I am planning to go your route as well, to do the istall myself for the self satisfaction purpose, not to mention to save some $$. Counting on you to help on know hows and lessons learned.

Plan on spending ALOT of money on tools; don't go at it unless you have a killer set of tools and then some!!
plan on having a compressor, 1/4" and 3/8" air ratchets, 1/2" impact gun, lots of extensions, multiple wrenches, sockets, pliers, etc. don't forget a jack and jackstands.. I would guess I probably have a close to $4k in hand and air tools (alot of it is Snap-on though $$$)
all I am saying is that it is very slow going and you'll need alot of unnusual tools to finish the job and a good working knowledge of cars...for example, most people report about having to custom make, bend, or weld tools to get the job done!
