there is no real answer to this. if you cheap out around 2gs i am guessing.

if you want reliable setup and reliable parts around 3-4gs i am guessing.

to be honest if you are asking these questions you are not ready for boost. unless you have tones of money and you will just let shop know your goals and they will buy/install and do everything for you and you just give them the money at the end, then thats different.

you need to go sit down with a shop and talk to them

Nick at tecknotic has lots of experience boosting so you could try him
Altel (or whatever they're called is also good)

there are lots of shops in the city that can give you a quote, but honestly, you have to ask them.... nobody can give you a ball park figure..
FOR EXAMPLE

I was able to boost a car for under $1000 all in....
was it the best.. not even close

i know people who have spent upwards of $4000 on a turbo setup

quite the range isn't it?

In parts you will spend about $2000-4000 if you piece together a decent reliable kit.
Again there is no such thing as a full turbo kit. Atleast I haven't seen one with full exhaust/injectors/fuel pump/clutch/gauges etc. Which are all needed so it all depends what you have, if you know people and what kind of deals you get.
Now for install, I'm not sure but I know a shop that could install for about a $1000 some shops may charge $1500+
Also you will need tune which will vary where you go and whether you get street tune or dyno.
So in the end with everything installed and tuned your total will be around $5000.
You could save money by installing yourself. As long as you have a garage to work in, its not all that hard.

Hello,
Speaking from experience I have purchased a go-autoworks kit... and they are GOOD!
But for the money your spending..... ?

Pm me if you want a QUALITY kit for a GOOD price with WARRANTY.
Something most turbo kits do NOT come with

froz3n your still around? I haven't seen a post from you in a while. I have almost every thing I need for my turbo kit but a sweet streak of bad luck I've had to put my plans to turbo aside for a while looking like next year instead of last spring but I'm getting there. it's a dream for know, like all honda's
