Wrong, wrong and wrong.  The only thing you need is a downpipe.
You can use the stock DET ECU as many are.  And you can even get away
with using the stock exhaust, wouldn't recommend it but you can.
Kits to mount the interheater up frount are available now and I
don't think cost much at all.  A boost controller is not necessary.

A stock DET will be way faster then a stock VE.  You have to
remember the VE still has little torque compared to the DET.

Now lets talk about that boost controller you mentioned.  Hmm
about $250 and you've added probably 20-30whp to your car.
Spend $250 on the VE and what do you get?  Probably 2-3whp.
