    it was 5600 at my door i think
    that was for the intercooled one which comes with cooler but doesnt come with any pipes
    i got my pipes off ebay and all joiners (about 250-300)
    did everything myself
    and payed about 400 for reverse plenum which is pretty much a must i have just used silicon joiners everywhere instead of welding it all, turned out pretty good
    you will also need to have a decent exhaust a high flow cat or 2 oem cats at least a 2.5 exhaust extractors
    a tune will be needed eventully there are alot of costs after u have the kit on ur car all depends on how fast u want it to be i want 1 13.5 so i still got a bit of money to spend yet good luck keep in touch

    will soon post up a clip of new exhaust sounds sweet
    all i have left to do know is sort out a loss of boost problem (if any1 has any idea on where i would be losing it let me know im reading 8psi with a 12 psi pulley) and then the new walbro fuel pump will go in and maybe a new blow off valve to handle the 12 psi and then it will be taken to get tuned.
