Ok. But what about things like tranny, clutch, rear end? if you make 2-3 times the stock power, you're gonna have to take those into account as well. My point is that the average turbo project will go 1-2 grand once you're done with everything.

So all this guy has to do is hold his breath for another 400.00

If your tring to kill your car then worry about the tranny and the rear end. If your driving it with in reason the only thing that may need updated is the clutch in the near future. I believe, I read the tranny and the rear end can handle 300 hp. But it can be done.
