It's in development right now, so asking how much, when, specs, fuel delivery, engine management, etc is all pointless right now. As soon as it's ready though, you can be sure you'll hear about it

possible answer to "how much":

low enough that everyone will jump at first, high enough that he'll sell two of them.

There's FC owners for you...heh.

edit: grammarcheck. bah. (sorry, it bugs me)

people don't want to spend a couple of hundred on exhaust and your going to spend that much on a turbo kit Poor dave probably won't sell more than a hand full.

Alot of people want a turbo RX-7, but finding a TII in decent shape locally can be a problem. Even if it is a few grand its still going to be great performance.

A few grand on a GXL, then a few grand on a turbo kit, and a grand on intake and exhaust. That should be a pretty damn quick and fun car.

I would be all over one if this was 2 years ago. But I also wouldnt do this swap on a base model, sure it'll be fast but you wont be able to control it aswell, or get the power to the ground.

Im sure only a handful will be sold, but thats usually the case with all turbo or supercharger kits. How many miatas with a turbo kit do you see? Or a 240SX? Or an Dodge ram?
