planning a turbo kit on my friends TC
A friend of mine called messaged me the other day (she is currently deployed in Afghanistan), asking me if i would be interested in turbocharging her car (08 tc 5 speed 40k miles currently stock other than trd axle back) when she gets back.
the budget is set at around 7 grand. The car is her daily driver and she just wants more power. her goal is pretty wide at 250-300 horse power at the tires. I am thinking of a low boost tune (4-6 lbs) for DD duty and a "high boost" tune (8-12 range or whatevers safe) for if she wants to have fun
I did some shopping on dezods website and also did some on ptuning's site. personally I found ptunings website to be cumbersome to browse for parts on, so i sent them a list of stuff i was looking at to see what they offer thats comprable (no response yet)
so far i have
dezod S2 turbo kit with aem standalone
dezod s-pipe back exhaust
aem water/meth injection system
aem serial data stream gauge
aem electrical oil pressure gauge
autometer dual gauge pod (a pillar)
hks type 1 turbo timer
deatschwerks 300lph fuel pump
act street clutch kit (reuse stock flexplate)
Ngk irridium spark plugs (one step colder then stock)
I know that some of these things are probably not required at this level but i want to overplan this so that in the future if she wants more power (to a point obviously) its just upping the boost and a tune away
what i am here for is for you guys to critique this build list and let me know if there is anything i need, or dont need
I thank you guys for your help

oh thats one thing i forgot to mention is she wants a mild sounding exhaust, she doesnt mind some noise when at full throttle but she doesnt want it buzzy or obnoxious at cruizing at light to moderate throttle. she likes the sound and db level of her trd axle back and wants to stay as close to that as possible
so if anyone has a link to a moderately quiet 3 inch exhaust feel free to post a link
