Sounds fine.

Do the LPI or Megan, not the TXS exhaust.

Not sure if you need the fuel rail or FPR on the stock turbo. Why do you want those?

Don't do an underdrive pulley - instead, do an LICP.

Are you sure you want an AEM EMS? It will require a ton of tuning knowledge, is very expensive, is not needed for the stock turbo, and will require a lot of maintenance.

Buschur is a great shop, and Dave is a great tuner, but the AEM EMS is not a toy. Relying on someone else to keep your car tuned at all times and in all situations with something as complicated as the AEM EMS is not the best idea. I would advise against it, unless you plan on upgrading the turbo.

Bigger turbo will come later. Maybe next winter. Everything I listed above, I plan on buying this winter or spring.

It is a good idea,he is wrong but it is very expensive and the same goes for tuning it,I tuned mine my self but i have went to automotive school for nearly ten years.just get a flash on your stock turbine,

You really dont need the fuel rail or aeromotive fpr right now. The AEM EMS is a little over kill for that setup, but if you know your way around fuel and ignition maps its a good investment for your future mods, ie bigger injectors, turbos. Not to mention I really like the speed density setup.

Dont throw too many things at once, because it gets harder and harder to find the bugs.

Ok then, as long as you can deal with a year of potential driveability problems, then go for it. When I say this, I'm not saying that Buschur won't tune it perfectly, just that the AEM EMS controls more than just your tune...it controls basic functions as well. Since you are upgrading the turbo next year, then getting the AEM EMS once and for all is a good idea...better than purchasing a tuning device twice, unless you can just make do with a base flash for $199 until you upgrade the turbo.

AEM EMS is def complicated. Talk to Buschur about doing a re-flash on the dyno instead of the EMS. Probably be more happier in the long run. (cheaper by a long shot)
