Just curious. I've seen NSX go for under 30K, but what would be the price tag on one of your turbo set ups?

For my car, eventually I'd like to see single digits at a minimum of 145, but over 150 is what I want.
As far as price.. it's $ But if you break it down, it isn't that bad considering everything it comes with. Which is, entire turbo setup, including ball bearing turbo, all SS piping, v bands, turbo manifold, Intercooler, Tial wastegate and BOV, a full fuel system(pump, injectors, lines, filter, FPR, etc), and a full stainless exhaust system(with twin Borla mufflers), AEM EMS, and a full install and full tune before delivered. When you consider all that, it's probably less then a lot of us spent on our dsm's.
Installed and tuned the kit will be in the 13k range(very small market demands a high price to get R&D $ back). That is on par with one competitor, but mine uses much better components. And a couple grand less then another competitor, which uses similar component, but uses a much different approach to building a kit. Both others an Air to Water intercooler, and one uses a pump for oil return among other things. Neither of which I like for a street car.
But to make good power, you'll need to build the motor. Which runs anywhere from 4k to 20k(parts and labor) depending on what you do. There are kinda different stages of things to do depending on the power you want. But you could do a motor capable of about 600whp for about 4k. The next step would be capable of 700ish whp, and you can probably double that to 8k. Then if you want 1000+ you add about 2-3k. Those are all if you just want bottom end work. If you want anything done to the heads, well you can guess. But it's the usual stuff, cams, springs/retainers, valves, porting, etc. But it's all expensive.
Stock motor cars can expect mid to high 120's trap, and in the 11's. Built motor cars in the upper 500's to 6 are in the 10's at upper 130's(I think one touched 140 at about 610whp).
