thats a nice kit but it seems alittle expensive for what you get to me. IDK i havnt looked at prices on the 16g in a while though. To get it fully installed you would still need IC piping and an intercooler. And then you need to make a custom downpipe and exhaust. Other than that its just the simple stuff like fuel, guages, ect

you wont need a custom down pipe. if you get a 16g with normal o2 housing all you need is a down pipe from a 2g gst. also i recomend going strait to a fmici bought a smic and couldnt mount it cause my charcol canister was in the way. also i recomend getting a bov with piping to match the size of the rest of your piping if you go with a 1g bov and tube which i did and heard most doyou will notice turbo lag of 4-600 rpm higer befor good boost.are you swaping injectors? i recomend 2g 450's the are supposted to have a better spray pattern. if you do use 450s you will need to splice in a resistor box or 4 10w 10ohm resistors. since our stock injectors run at 16w and 14-16 ohms. and turbo 450s run at 6w and 4-6ohms. also what year is this? if its a 98-99 a turbo ecu swap is fairly easy. also you if you are keeping stock internals max bost is really right around 10psi on stock pistons i only run mine at 8 right now to keep it reliable. i would recomend doing the turbo swap first as you loos power with the turbo head cause of the change in compression ratio.the net gain with both 63 head and turbo swap is almost 150 over our measly 140hpto the wheels.so with a fmic an exhaust n such supporting mods you wil be nice and above 300 with room for major growth. let me know if you have any ? or want to know what parts i used in my turbo swap.

And dont let anyone tell you to sell your car and buy a gst or gsx. thats lame. cause if our motor sucks then why do so many people put our block crank etc in there gsx or gst for a upgrade. i have been told to just sell mine numerous times. but yet i beat lots of gst and (gsx from a roll) and they have been modified ones not just stock ones like many say. also you can beat most imports out there with this swap and mildly built stangs and cameros and such.
