Turbo kit inc freight/injectors/catch can -$2245
Microtech ECU LT10 -$1250
Turbo Install -$600
Computer Install -$450
2-1 Exhaust piece -$300
Modified Clutch -$800
Oil/Coolant Lines - $250

Total Cost = $6435

But that includes clutch which i needed done anyway.

I would budget a bit more for tuning, especially when you using ecu replacement.

Things you might want to consider either replace or add for later.

Bigger injector or an extra one
Bigger fuel pump
new cat back exhaust
LSD
brake upgrade

The ECU is being piggybacked onto original
Got 390cc Injectors with the kit
have high flow cat n 2.5 inch exhaust.. this will prob go to 3 inch eventually..
LSD... yes... the cost? Maybe sometime next year
brake upgrade.... this is on the tables for next 3 months
