Thanks. Well I do have a little horsepower, not sure exactly how much, but I raced a stock VX hatch and it barely beat me on the top end. It's a 1991 Pontiac Transport van.

I don't like to think about how much money I've alternately dropped on my car over these last 5 years, don't have a whole lot to show for it right now either :-\

but if I were to guess, I'd say:

turbo kit cost: ~$1500.00 including fuel system setup.
I had it on for over two years.
never got to dyno it to see how much it made.

First motor..single cam z6 with a 14b...about $800 with the cost of the motor. My b18a1/16g around $1000 with cost of motor and turbo and new intercooler. My newest one is costing me dearly...b16a bottom, rods, pistons, machining and all that crap...so far at $2800. Another b16a to put in the car to drive it while bottom's being built, around $800. New t3/to4e setup, piping, and ecu to run the motor...around 600 beans so far. When it's all put together and done close to the $5000 mark. And so far the longest lasting and most fun setup was the z6/14b. ::)
