well your an 06 le5 so you already have some forged internals. also the 4t45 can handle quite a bit of power. you would need the turbo, a manifold, oil lines, charge pipes, intercooler, injectors, new intake, tune and probably more but your working off a pretty good platform. you would have some lag w/o cams but you should be good to 15 psi. you could easily make 300whp with that 3076

depends on how you want to do it. if you have patience, time, and good craftsmanship then piece together a kit. if you have hella money and want a kit that will bolt up with no problems, buy the zzp kit.

if you do piece together one, i would start with this:
