It would be worth it if you didnt put any of those parts you have onto that motor.
If you plan on boosting, dont even bother...especially in a couple of months. None of the parts you mentioned will gain you anything, so that would be the biggest waste.

Honestly...no.
You can if you want obviously, its your car. But if you seriously plan on boosting within a couple of months, i wouldnt bother.
Do you realize how much tuning is?...save your money for the tuning after you put your turbo setup on.
An MSD external Coil, Intake, Exhaust, Cam Gear (which has no purpose other than for tuning), and a chipped P28 ECU (which isnt even the correct one to use)...honestly, wont get you little to none.

Read what I posted to you in this thread...you CAN run the P28, however the P08 is the actual correct one to use.
