Depending on what year you have, this is straight from the link you posted:
"
04-06 will come with Uni chip, 07-10 will come with AEM FIC and boomslang PnP harness. AEM will needing fine tuning of base map, we will provide base map. "
You may want to give them a call regarding the "no fuel components included comments"
You will get a base tune with AEM (assuming you drive and 07-10). You'll need to get an actual tune once the install is finished. Injectors are included in that kit already.

Scion tC Turbo Kit Tuning & Fuel Components- TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE
That is the link for the fueling components. I would also check with Paul at Dezod and see if he can hook you up. I think he was running free gauges with an FIC? I could also be full of it lol.

That kit is all smoke and mirrors. Selling a kit without fuel and engine management which will equate to $1000 more in cost puts you at our pricing (roughly) and you with our kit, you get a better quality system all around and support!

Don't forget about upgrading the clutch. You won't last long on the stock clutch. You'll also need at the bare minimum a wideband AFR and boost gauges. Eventually, you'll wanna upgrade the exhaust (if you haven't already) cuz the stock exhaust will leave you wanting more. Plan for at least $6-6.5k to start (Turbo kit, clutch + install, gauges, and tune), then about another $400-$900 for a catback exhaust depending on which one you go with.

Depends on your driving style. Could be a few days or could be months. Might even start slipping durning the tune. You'll definitely wanna have something to hold the power and torque range you want to target. I'll tell you from experience: go with something that canhold more than your turbo can put out. I've changed clutch 3 times since going F/I.

My brand new stock clutch died in about 2 weeks. I could get MAYBE one run at the track if it was cool to start with. There are some pics in my thread of the disk. It had turned all sorts of purple from the heat.

I had the CC stage 4 for ~ 44k miles. Was so stiff it blew my clutch master twice. After taking it out, found one of the spring seats (dont know the proper term) started cracking. If I woulda kept it, trans woulda likely suffered from clutch blowing up. Using ACT 6 puck now. Lighter pedal feel and more torque capacity.
