That being said, your explaination sure makes it sound like I can spend the 7k and have this knocked out in my garage within a week and be up and running... pending a tune.

Is that really the case ?
Add in the cost for a clutch (and a csc and flywheel since you're in there), gauges, tune, boost controller, probably a radiator (add in the cost to recharge the ac system after install), an exhaust if you don't have one, etc. A FI kit is never the total cost. Budget 3-5k for supporting mods and tune.
