With the exchange rate, Customs fee and shipping, it will cost you around $6000 Canadian for a $3500 US kit!

damn exchange rate sucks!
if you are serious about purchasing a kit, i'd suggest that you ship it to somewhere in the states along the border (possibly to a relative or friend) and you go pick it up. it'll save you alot of money.... especially customs.

Your are right enry, but there's the shipping, insurance cost, Customs clearance and paper work and taxes. When you send stuff via UPS or something like that, on the end, it can be expensive.
If it is send via US postal service or Canada post, there's no Customs clearance and paper work but you can't get more than $1000 Canadian ($600 US) of insurance value.

The Spool kit won't work for you in Vancouver. The primary catalyctic converter is removed in that one and you will fail the Aircare emission tests.
Also the On Board Diagnostic 2 testing will scan your vehicle for codes so that even if it passes the visual and exhaust emission tests it could have a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that won't illuminate the SES (service engine soon) light.
Those will be history codes that will fail your vehicle.
The FM system will be the only one that may work, But it may fail the road load test due to fuel enrichment from messing with the fuel pressure regulater to offset lean run when boost comes in.
If you can't pass then you won't be able to buy car insurance.
You should e-mail FM and ask for CARB certification. (california air research board) These are close to what's required here but the standards are stricter for 2004.
