    Tough question.
    It depends on what you mean by "all up!"...

    This phase, the actual bolting on of the turbo cost me around $8k.
    A lot of people will say thats way too much for what I have, and I tend to agree.
    But I way over spent on the manifold (I ended up with some loose change out of $5k.)
    But then again, the manifold is fantastic in my opinion, and I couldn't ask for better.

    But this build started way way before this phase.
    Back st the last major service. When I decided to use a greddy timing belt, instead of an OEM. And I put the Koyo radiator in, instead of leaving the stock one.
    That major service cost me about $2.5k. Instead of $600-$700. In preparation for all this.

    And in turn, all this is just in preparation for the forged internal build, which will finally see the boost gauge climb past 10psi.....

    And of corse, to complicate the entire question even further.
    Just in case the wife ever reads this.

    It all cost me nothing mate, I put it all together with chicken wire and paper mashay.....!
