Tvs with the pulley it came with, and meth kit installed. If you buy the kit it will come with injectors and the **** you need to put it on. I been having my tvs on for a month now and it runs hard and fast as ****(compared to the M62). A good tune you will need also. If you want to keep your car running, don't do n2o. Just like the good people listed above said.

Yeah thats fine for starters. But if you get the extra cash and there is someone in your area to fine tune it I would do that. So that way your maf is tuned right and you can add more timing till it knocks then.

Yes it does but it would be a restriction since the tvs inlet is bigger. It was designed for the ls4

ZZP tested the ls4 TB and it made no more hp until WOT...and thats w/ a ported ls4. you will get the same power quicker, but thats not a good thing unless all you want to do is burn out all the time in these FWD cars
