Default Going to be Boosting the Car Soon; Need Advice

Well i finally chose to boost my car with some tax return money and some saved up on my own. i just have a few questions about doing it so i will go ahead and ask:

first i will be deciding between the ptuning kit and the dezod kit, ideally i wanted to do a custom one and was quoted by a tuning group down here but didnt like the price that didnt include some of the things i wanted.

my car is a 2007 pushing 55000+ miles, i know a lot.

i know most kits include everything you need to just throw it on but i wont just throw it on seeing as i want my car to last hehe.

to properly do this i have a idea that i need the kit(duh), injectors, exhaust, ecu(dunno which to go with, but have been told to go with aem), brakes, clutch, and flywheel.

my first question is what else do i need so that i can do this right and my second question is which ecu do i go with and for that matter should i go stand alone or pnp. i know you shouldnt turbo on a budget so i wont, im invested for the long run but want to do this correctly.

im shooting for a daily driver and not a monster on wheels just so you know. any help is appreciated, thanks.


ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE
where can i get a good quality but cheaply prices leather shift ****, my obx is coming apart because of my sweaty hands heh.

Ptuning looks promising and the Dezod overall is a really well built kit. You can also do a custom kit with Dezod as one of there turbo options you can choose whatever you like on the kit. You don't necessarily have to go crazy with brakes but upgraded brakes will help no matter what. For clutch it all depends what is your power goals and then choose a clutch that will meet those goals. You do not need to go AEM Standalone if you do not want to. It also depends what your going to be using your car for like are you tracking it a lot? AutoXing? Road Course? A piggyback like Emanage or AEM FIC should be enough for times when you only want to feel the boost from time to time

I gave up on those. I got a pair of cheap gloves instead. Seems to take longer to go through those than it does leather shift *****.

Oh, and PTuning or Dezod. Flip a coin. You can't go wrong either way.
