The sites prices are not correct. Call them and get the corrected price. Their site is behind a few years. 
Race cover increases the hp potential.
Billet wheel increases the hp potential.
But only one helps spool rate.
Now the race cover has a smaller discharge OD.
Making for a nicer look.

Yea I plan to give them a call tomorrow. I will be out of town for the next week and a half so I'm not in a rush. I am going to go with the race cover but probably not the billet wheel. Rick, would you need the turbo to make the hot and cold side for me?

So I called ForcedInductions today and he spec'd me a S480/92 T4 turbo. 
Obviously I don't want to go that big on my little 293. I want a fun street truck that can make 800whp when I want to turn it up so that turbo seems huge. Thoughts?

Don't be a doucher. I'm new to turbos and am wondering why he would spec such a large turbo on such a small engine. The turbo you mentioned is the one I plan on buying, it just caught me off guard when he spec'd something so big

You can ask 10 people and you will get 10 different answers. I know since im in the same boat. I talked with FI couple of Times and each time I was told something different. im leaning more towards the billet s476/92 or 96 with upgraded wheel and race cover in a T4.
