trying to turbo my car need any help

With 11k you can address multiple other things.
1 - Upgraded heavy duty brakes. We do packages. This can range from $500 (front and rear) or up to 2-3k for a full big brake upgrade.
2 - Cooling - Oil cooler, radiator upgrade, and better, more efficient fluids.
3 - Transmission - Clutch and flywheel upgrade (makes a world of difference)
4 - Suspension - Keep the car planted at speed and lower your chance of losing control.
5 - TIRES - Sticky tires on stock wheels or a good lighweight aftermarket wheel. What's the point of all that power with no traction right?
From experience, these supporting mods are extremely important. If you do extreme power and nothing else, you will never be able to enjoy your car. When I first turbo'd my tC all I could do was go fast in a straight line. Once I got the suspension, brakes, and tranny stuff taken care of I could really tool on the car and enjoy it. It brought a smile to my face every time haha...
If you guys need more advice or suggestions let me know. I've spent close to 45-60k in aftermarket parts over the last 7 years. Between R&D, racing, and daily driving, I have used most brands

Joe you said you run between 9 and 11psi of boost. Ballistic Motorsports is installing my Dezod S1 kit now but on a auto tranny. They said 10psi will be fine on my engine without any problems but nothing more. I don't plan on beating up the engine for it is my daily summer time driver. Your kit comes with the tranny cooler which is the reason I opted for your kit over the Turbonetics. Will I have any problems with my tranny with 10psi using your tranny cooler and synthetic tranny oils?
