by the way looks great
If you bought my same kit (Garrett Alpha Kit) and your car is 2005 2006 LS manuel, then yes it would be a complete turbo kit....but...you still would need to buy a new stronger clutch like the Spec Stage 2 clutch and a new catback exhaust system. and thats it really, thats what I have and no leaks or no problems at all with the turbo so far, its GREAT!!

catch cans r good, also some like to filter the oil feed line for the turbo, to asure it gets good clean oil all the time, youwould use a small inline filter

So the trifeca tuning is no good, or is not good enough. What's the AEM, is that a tuning, or a controller?

^^^ It is still good but takes time to get right, on extremely high HP applications his mail order tune could cause catostrophic falure since the vehicle has to be reasonably opperable for him to datalog what information he needs.

Yeah, I cna't really afford catostrophic failure. So the AEM F/IC would be the better route?

Depends of how wild you want your build to be. If you arent radically changing cam profiles or valve size you should be fine.

You need to be on a dyno for Vince to tune a car with F/I.
