I bought my engine and front end from JHOT Imports and I had nothing but GREAT service from them. The items I received were of great quality. They don't lie about mileage as my engine had 78k miles on it and one had 103~113k miles.

The engine you get is a VERY big investment on your part because if you cheap out and get a $1000 motorset and it ends up having low compression or a blown turbo or missing stuff and now you have to hassle with the vendor...now you have a headache and more money to be spent on your side.

I would save up and get a motorset from a reputable company for more money.

If you aren't gonna go for tuning, you wanna at least to a couple dyno runs to make sure everything is peachy.

But yeah, nistune is cool, do that.
I wouldn't recommend any sort of fuel management. I would stick with stock fuel management until you decide what you want to do later when you get a bigger turbo.
