I did indeed get the intake for $160, got it off the classifieds here actually.

I can help you install the boost gauge, took me a couple hours but its not too difficult.

Thats a good list, but I'd skip the K04 and put that money into other areas. Unless your planning on doing all the supporting mods and really running it.

I missed an opportunity to pick up a brand new Techtonics exhaust for $400 here in SF. Still kick myself over missing that chance.

IMO, the cost benefit including time, blood, sweat and tears isn't worth it to go K04.

I don't plan on swapping my turbo, but if I did, I would want to go with at least an elim kit.
