Buy the parts seperately and install them yourself, and you might have a chance at keeping it under 7200.

If you do the install, then $7000 is going to cut it. But if you don't, I don't see how you can
get a whole STGIII kit.

K04's with inlet pipes & hardware is close to $3000. Is your timing belt done? How many miles are on the car?

STGIII clutch $1000 in parts, then add a LTWFW another $550 to that.

STGIII fueling kit is around $2000.

That's $6500 in parts.

APR STGIII kit $7000
The AWE STGIII $5500

That doesn't leave a lot of install.

No you don't need them, $$ per HP they are a waste IMHO.

Certainly at AWE's prices...seems like Vast has some much less expensive ones...though don't really know what - if any - gains you will see...

How do the stock manifolds hold up? Are they pretty well built from the factory?

not even close to the first thing I'd worry about on this car...
