I promise you its more then 5-7 K... if the Kit is 4300... Plus exhaust, Tuning and install..

7500 If thats all you want is a greddy kit installed tuned with an exhaust. Anythign extra you might run into that you need is going to be more. to be really safe and crank up the boost.. throwing on a thicker head gasket is the cheapest safe way to go. figure about another 700 for that. so around $8500. for probally about 300-325 hp if your lucky.. Turbos are fun.. But for that money.. You could buy a used K24 and either build it or get a supercharger and see more reliability and much more wider torque band.

Damn! For $8500, I'd rather have the baddest NA daily driver out there, or just sc what I've got, buy a bad ass set of wheels, and still have money left over.

I'd say

$3500 for kit
$600 or so for tune
$6-800 for install

and then the factoring in of enhanced tired wear, clutches wearing out quicker, more gasoline use, turbo upkeep, guages, etc etc. It can get expensive.
