Those are some good prices and I look forward to seeing how it turns out. What are you doing for your subframe? The Defined kit looks pretty good. I used the Pettit/Rotary Specialties frame and it works well but it does require modified spindles. Either way, you'll need to add in the $1,500 or so cost for that also. And how about tuning? One the cheap side that would be $500. I've also heard the 13B new housings have shot up in price recently so I would be surprised if they would be under $500 a piece (Ray at Malloy quoted me $750 recently but I am sure they can be had for less). I'm missing a bunch of little things also but you get the point. It adds up quickly.

Now if you can do it all yourself, you'll end up at the $15,000 mark I'm confident. Factor in though selling off all the 13B parts and you'll knock off $6,000 or so from the price. The $30K you see frequently quoted is for the vast majority of us that can't do the work themselves. This is for a turbo setup which adds $5,000 easy into the mix. Most of us have spent way more than the $30K figure but I believe with proper planning, the job can be done for the $30K figure.
