Exactly..if you are keeping the car mostly stock for now and want between 365-380 RWHP Turbonetics will do that for you. When Turbonetics releases Stage II there will be a low cost upgrade kit for those with Stage I to do that will get them a T66 turbo, bigger wastegate, bigger BOV, bigger injectors, and a tuneable EMS. The turbo in Stage II will be set up for 550 RWHP out of box at 15 PSI but the turbo kit upgrade itself will good into the 700s.

True...with the cat on the downpipe it looks like the Turbonetics kit will actually pass the sniffer just not visual. Of course its easy to find someone to look the other way as long as it passes the sniffer...

The APS kit does not use a reflash, it uses the Unichip which is much better and it is a tuneable EMS...so you don't have to worry about adding mods (exhausts and so forth). It is also very safe out of the box even if a tuner is not near you...

I have the JIC full Ti slightly larger than 3" 80mm (3" is 76mm) single on my car with the TN. I havent had much driving time with the kit, but for the little time I did I can tell you. Its loud as $hit, and I get 9psi peak boost-NO OVERBOOST WITH THIS EXHAUST. I love the exhaust, and it weighs less than 10lbs....

Is this necessary? Mossy sells a kit without the catalytic converter. What are the pros/cons of the having/not having the converter?

I'm strongly considering this kit. Since I have UTEC on already, I think all I need is the tuner kit ($4,045 through Mossy).

I'm in MD, so I'll probably have AAM install their fuel return system.

Is this generally all that I'm going to need?

Oh, here are my current mods:

AAM polished plenum
AAM plenum spacer
AAM y-pipe
AAM 2.5" test pipes (currently off)
AAM 3" single stainless angled exhaust
AAM ECU flash
UTEC with Tuner Reg Pro
Injen RD CAI
ACT clutch w/ 6 puck Race Disc
Fidanza flywheel

Not sure if the Tuner kit comes with injectors ? If not then you will need injectors also. If your buying the fuel system and have the UTEC you might as well get bigger injectors too (440cc or 510's).

+1 Dave,
The tuner kit is the same as the base kit minus injectors, pump, and reflash. Since you already have the Utec installed you would get the tuner kit, Some injectors (440s, 510s, etc) and a Walbro pump. Total cost for injectors and pump ~$600... Tuner kit is $~4000...Total cost $4600 and you have a BAD@SS setup tuned via Utec..

Thanks for your input Mia and 35!
