no not complete, youll need a dyno tune.. and you have to tap the oil pan... and install a bypass valve if your smart

+1 on the tapping oil pan

and you really only need the bypass at 15+psi i think.

If you get a kit from a company like MPH (or any number of other big shops) it comes with everything you will need, including the tune.

The vortech kits come with a bypass. If you rebuild the engine and want to run more boost you need to go with something like a mini race, but at 8-10 PSI the worst than can happen is a small driveablity problem, and most people don't even experence that.
