Before you add this SC, make sure you revise the cooling, the braking, the suspension, and tires.

For the SC, of course you need a tune, and preferably a custom tune on Dyno, this is the only guarantee to get a proper solution for you car, but it won't be cheap.

The kit + clean install, and tuning by a competent garage, could be anything between 6 to 10 k$
6 to 10? People are getting used kits for around 3k. If yo already have an ecutek you can get a remote tune for $200 or so. No need for an oil cooler if your using it for DD. Catch can used $100 or so. DIY install which I feel is mandatory to gain a deeper understanding of modding should you be going down this route. Afterall you are bound to have headaches and need to fix them. Tires do had a fat cost but i feel most folks already have after market at this point. I dont feel their is a need for suspension upgrades with this car. What you describing really looks like a track build. Anyone care to add or challange this? I too am eager to learn more.
