The kits would eliminate the EGR system, IRIS system, and purge control system. I am looking further into what it is going to take to keep the Auto but I have no definitive answer as of now.

Also out of curiosity, what kind of gains are we looking at HP/TQ wise, as well as, how many pounds of boost can a stock motor hold. How many pounds of boost can a motor built with the ECUTune components hold and how would using those in addition to the turbo effect the HP/TQ numbers and how many pounds of boost can be ran. If the gains with the ECUTune components as well as the turbo kit are a large jump over just the kit alone, what other parts would need to be upgraded? Drivetrain?

Gains would more than likely be in the 50-60% range on a stock motor. This is mostly due to the fact that you are fighting a 10:1 compression ratio and they are going to be built to run pump gas. More than likely limited to 9-10 psi. I cannot tell you what the ECUtune engine will do. I personally am using the bottom end that I had from him and building my own heads using different valves, springs, retainers, and converting to bucket&shim for the lifters. This way I can choose my own cam profiles and not have to deal with hydraulic lifters. With the lower compression your gains can be much more substantial and fully expect over 100% gains.

Sorry to bombard you with a million questions (some of them probably not very relevant) but I'm just a curious little monkey.

I posted this to answer questions and yield interest in it. I may also need someone interested with an auto to lend me their car for an unknown period of time... but that is merely for trying to keep the auto with the new EM.
