He'd be better off with cams in lieu of a larger IC, as well as an Xede + tuning vs. a flash. He wouldn't need an EMS regardless.
The two best out there are of little use if one cannot afford to buy them, install them, as well as buy and install all the supporting hardware to justify it. The turbo kit is only a portion of what one needs to do it, and more importantly, to do it right.
In other words, it's better to take aim at a target not quite so high and hit a bullseye then take aim at something over your head and out of your budget and do it half-a$$ed.

The TT kit is a smaller trim than the AMS kit, spools faster and puts out real similar #'s. The AMS kit is going to really shine @ 30psi and up. To do that though you need to upgrade internals as high 20's psi maybe 30 at the max is all you can do on stock internals before stuff goes BOOM. AEM, cams, bigger FMIC, injectors,Walboro 255, then turbo kit. Make sure you do those injectors if you go bigger turbo, you do not want to run at 100% duty cycle, one little hiccup and bad things can happen. Just my .02

Just remember, there is always more than one way to skin a cat. The most expensive way is not always the best way for you, and neither may be the cheapest way. The less you plan to spend to reach a certain goal, the more critical your choices become.
Choose wisely.

Another side note, our car made a little over 400 whp on 1 Bar w/ our GT35R kit. It is not the most expensive way out there but IMHO it is one of the best designs out there. HKS and Apexi are both higher priced than us.
