my thoughts exactly.

How about a pathfinder cooling mod since you're ready to go Koyo already. Also, its seems you are an Intense customer, so I'm sure they have advised you to use ProEFI as part of your electronics package.

so basically you have an exhaust and test pipes. Neither of which will work with that turbo kit.

good luck

+1...there just isn't a good case for Turbonetics anymore, I shake my head every time someone installs one new. Maybe you save money in the short term, but the limitations of the TN kit make it not worth the trouble

+1 the TN is just not worth it as there are so many better options for the long term...

It's rough in here OP. My advice is just start out with buying the Power Lab kit (You made a good selection on that) and some gauges. Get your feet wet and then add more stuff. We see threads like this all the time and never see anything come out of them so it's all talk for the most part. Money does talk though so once you walk the walk a bit then you can talk the talk in FI. Good Luck!

Hmmm.. what about any fuel related upgrades? You're not planning on using your stock injectors right?
