I'm really considering a Greddy TurboCharger.
I have a 05 tC 5spd, with a Borla Cat Back Exhaust and a B&M Short Throw shifter. Thats it. And I'm starting to get board of the power so Turbo it is lol. But, will I need anything besides what comes with the Greddy kit to make it run right. And is it bad for my engine over time? Also is my borla exhaust a keeper if I get a turbocharger or is another one better?

The GReddy kit needs the fuel upgrade as well, so make sure you have that figured into the price too... Injectors/Emanage/etc...
It, if not maintained, and if you don't get it tuned (The base tune is pretty worthless) will take out your engine... but if you know your stuff, maintain your car, and ensure it's tuned correctly, your engine should plug along just fine.
If you get a turbo, you'll probably be ok with the borla... any catback will be a big improvement over stock/or the traditional axleback... replace your S-Pipe as well, if you haven't.
You'll want a Wideband Gauge, Boost gauge, and EGT gauge as well... Estimate around 600 for those too...
There are also other Turbo's on the market to explore as well, as the GReddy is ok, but others are upgradable easier and have huge SL supporters and knowledge base ... so keep an eye out... just to ensure you know...
You can PM me anytime you have a question and I'll help you out... I'lm also AIMable... WeDriveScions... and run a nice turbo setup now... so know some of the deal.
