No, that's not including labor.

I'm not saying you have to spend 15k. You can cut corners and do it for less than 10k. I chose to do everything at once, and get everything I need to make it as reliable as possible.

The cost of putting together a FI setup for a factory NA car is something that generally won't make sense to someone until they've done it. A large number of relatively low cost mods add up pretty quickly.
