An excellent place to start your research. Good for you!

Hmmm. Well, let's get you some good answers.
>For example, i will need to spend a lot more money than than for just the DET.
Yes. Plan on spending $1,000-2,000 more. You'll have to spend $500
minimum just for the JWT ECU. Add to that bearings and seals and misc here
and there, including a downpipe. You'll have to run the TMIC. From there
you can add all sorts of things starting with a FMIC and 3" exhaust. You
can easily spend more than the car is worth.

Don't forget the injectors, MAF, and probably a couple of things not coming
to mind at the moment.
>is this true?
Yep.
>how much power could i expect out of a stock DET?
They are rated at 205 bhp from the factory for the BB DET.
>How much boost does it run stock?
IIRC, 6psi.
>And if i decide to go thru with it where do i get the DET from?
Search the archives for this one to get a variety of opinions.
Good luck.
