Default Converting DBW to DBC

Currently have a 2002 vortec 5.3 motor that is DBW talked to Jon from PSI about a harness and tolds me I could save alot of money converting to DBC. My question is what would i have to upgrade to go from DBW to DBC?

You'll need the ecu tuned for cable TB and add an IAC.
The 02 411 ecu can be easily tuned for that.
