Default Acura TL turbo kit

Long shot here but: http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-398198.aspx

Anyone try one of these? my friend is hell bent on getting it on his 2005 Acura TL 6speed. I was wondering if it could be cheaper to put it together piece by piece. I know some dealers who can get me a 6162/6262 etc for good deals and some of the other parts are pretty universal and can be bought almost anywhere online. And an intercooler setup can be fabricated custom wise. Also what are they doing as far as the exhaust manifolds/headers go?

Because 6k is a lot of money.

6K seems steep. Does the TL require fuel system upgrades for this setup? If so, does that kit include the upgrades? If 6K includes all the supporting mods, then I could understand the price a little more. If it doesn't include supporting mods (whether necessary or not) and all that is is the piping/turbo/intercooler/bov/clamps/fittings, then that shit is highly overpriced.

I can't tell from the kit, but it looks like it'll utilize the factory manifolds. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Roughly $1000 of that is the AEM ECU I'm assuming.

Basically it includes the supporting mods. It comes with injector clips but IDK the size of the stock injectors. Justin give me a holller if you want to check out the car I know you can give him more help when it comes to turboing a NA Honda something I'm not at all familiar with.
