I have no doubt that CB's Gen4 EFI is going to be badass, but $2800? Is it assumed that throttle bodies, injectors, etc are not included?

I'd guess the TBs and hardware are all included, considering the "Turbo" option adds another $1200 to the purchase price (which would be about right for CB's turbo, manifolds and exhaust).

I don't think electrickery works that way

I assume everything is included as a basic kit. Meaning it has provisions for a ton of options, like 4 wide band o2 sensors to monitor individual cylinders, but you would have to buy the extra 3 sensors.
I do know the thing is bad ass. I was helping Pat Downs with his pro-stock car at Bugorama last weekend, he started with his base map due to a dyno problem earlier in the week. The decision was to run it to the eighth then cost rest of the way and check the data logger. Car went 9.84 shutting down at the 8th. Went to check data and it was forgot to get turned on(Duh!). Next pass with the same tune running it out got a 9.41, remember the official pro-stock record is a 9.60 something. So yes, this ecu is bad ass

I hope it is a kit. Unfortunately, the product description is vague with regard to included hardware. I see Stripped66 is exactly right about the turbo configuration price increase... Maybe CB can fix the write up without too much hassle.

$2795.00 is for a complete N/A kit including throttle bodies, linkage, fuel system, electronics, etc. The kit does not include any ignition pieces or add on's like IAC motor kit, boost control hardware, water/meth kit, extra 02 sensors, egt's, etc.
The turbo kit is $3,995.00 and includes the same pieces as the N/A kit but also all of the turbo components.

So I'd need to buy the pn2092 kit to make it a ready to run package?
