Should I get that? Would I need anything else?
also, would I need to get a new exhaust, I really like the one I have now
Thanks.

well honestly it depends on the mileage on your engine. i know we've discussed the swap option haha but i mean if your engine has high mileage on it you're better off to put the 5k toward a swap, and then save and maybe go big single later on. If you strap a turbo on a high mileage engine odds are things are gonna start popping and blowing up all over the place and you'd spend the money that you'd otherwise put into the GTE on replacing parts and rebuilding the motor.
just my .02. the valve body upgrade is an excellent idea though, as well as a torque converter, just to cover some of the lower points of our transmissions

the SRT is going to be the most complete kit on the market, not to mention the added efficiency and upgradability of the big single. plus, SRT is definitely accessible right here on the forum if you have any problems.
AH WAIT! the link you have above is for an IS, though its the same motor you may end up with problems for fitment on certain things. I'd consult SRT before buying anything. They have the ability to put together a custom setup for you, i'm sure they can make one up within your budget.
