YES! First off, you'll want a fueling box, closely followed by a turbo. What kind of stage 5's are you looking at? Is it auto or manual? The possibilties are endless.

Oh yeah, before you do ANYTHING, you'll need gauges. (ie:boost, pyro, FP, tranny temp if it's an auto)

gotta know if your going to have an auto or manual. Then i would put some injector nozzles in it, then a tranny/clutch upgrade, then a smarty, then a turbo, then a fueling box

you'll be looking at least at a torque converter and valve body upgrade. Then throw some 150hp jammers in there with a smarty. That will get you the timing you need to keep it cooler. But you will want to upgrade that turbo awful quick! the little hy that comes with the auto wont support much hp.

whats your ultimate hp goal? drag racing, pulling, daily driving?

Best gage set up???

So what is the best gage setup to get? Considering cost, ease of install, etc.. I will need FP, Pyro, and boost. Is there an "all in one" digital unit with any alarms built in? Or are the triple A pillar gages the way to go?

You should look into a juice/attitude setup by edge. Pretty much the old comp programs with digital gauges and you can still upgrade to their hot version when ready. While nozzles are cheap they arent the best. I had jammers 4s, they worked good for the money. With injectors over 100hp iwth a fueling box your looking at high exhaust temps which arent good for the turbo. I get gauges, intake, exhaust, fueling box or programmer, trans mods, turbo, injectors...in that order. Depends how deep into your pocket you want to go.
