$3000-3500 for turbo kit
$4000 trans/cooler/converter
$600 LSD/cover/studs
$500 injectors
$200 fuel pump
$400-600 gauges

And thats just to make it reliable. Plus any labor that someone may need to pay for if they cant do something themselves...

im gonna agree with him^^....to do it the right way and not have to worry about it will be quite expensive. It all adds up very quickly...

Ill be doing a front mount in the future and I was estimating to spend around $8500-10k on everything. If there was ever a project you don't wanna half a$$ this would be it. I blew my lightning up off ignorance, but lesson learned

That doesn't take into consideration the cost of a rebuilt trans or the swap to a 4l80e, or replacing the G80 in your rear end with a decent unit.

For your absolute most basic kit, possibly around $3,000, it only goes up from there though.

Good record keeping right there.. lol.. I have roughly $8k from turbo, tranny, rear,fuel, tuning, gauges..
