Hahah oh snap, as soon as people started bring up base kit specs vendors be jumpin in. For OP i would reccomend a S/C so you dont have to deal with turbo heat and engine bay cooling after you install it on your car, that being said I woukd suggest the Jackson Racing S/C. Its been said before, its not a cheap venture, then again changing the asperation on any car is inherantly expensive. gotta pay to play

( why would someone leave the IC cost seperate from a kit...I thought all turbo kits and some S/C kits came with them )

Looking at other cars over the years, the amount of aftermarket for this car is amazing. Competing vendors have competitive pricing because of all the competition. Their are not many cars where you can get a complete drop in and go kit that can be done on a weekend in your driveway for under 5 grand thats of the quality that most of these kits are.

Our kit comes with an intercooler, so that won't be needed in your price quote And we also have full done kits starting much cheaper than that price depending on the turbo as well.

Let's take into perspective a few things just from a quick search:
MAP's full done kit with 1100cc injectors is $6700
Clutch $1100
Intercooler $1000 (maybe a little high)
Tuning license and dyno time $1200
Exhaust $1000 (catted)

That's $11,000...

Then labor

If that is a 'turn key' quote including: Tax, shipping component costs, shop supplies, labour rate, fluid changes, custom tune/dyno time and they warranty their work...sounds about right. It's all the little bits that add up on top of an advertised base price. I bet the end result would be spectacular!

What is missing here is what power goals did you have in mind, especially when you asked for the quote?

It's already been touched on here and in other threads, but if you are looking for 250-300whp on pump gas, then you don't injector upgrades or fuel pump upgrades. In general, if you are planning to run 92-93 octane pump gas you won't be looking at more than 300whp for safety sake.

As general rule of thumb:

1) 220-260whp, 190-215 ft/lbs of torque - you really don't need anything besides the FI kit of your choice. The clutch should be fine, the standard fuelling will be fine, even the stock exhaust will be fine.

2) 270-300whp, 220-260ft/lbs of torque - you will be at the limit of the standard fueling and standard 92-93 octane pump gas. You may be able to push the power further, but that is a choice to make between you and your tuner. You *will* need a clutch, as once you get to 220+ ft/lbs of torque, your clutch will give way. If not right away, it will be soon. Exhaust upgrades are highly recommended. So is an upgrade to better rubber.

3) 330+ whp, 260+ ft/lbs of torque - for safety sake, you better be running e85, race gas, meth, or similar. Running e85 guarantees you'll need larger injectors, plus a fuel pump. Stock clutch left the building a long time ago. Exhaust is necessary. Brake, suspension, and tire upgrades should also be considered mandatory. Some gauges to monitor the situation is also A Very Good Idea.

Choice no.3 can easily push you into the 10k+ range, not because of the FI kit itself, but all the supporting modifications that go with it.
