Judging from what I've been reading up on,what your at cost wise sounds about right. If I can get away with spending around 12 k,then I'm "all aboard" with going boosted. With all the good talk about the quality,good customer service and being pretty much hassle free,if a guy is going fi,it's a no brainer on this set up. Of course I'll be doing more homework,but I like what I see so far!

I believe the money I spent was required. You should never cut corners when boosting a NA factory car.
- Kit - $8k
- Clutch/FW/HD CSC - $1500-2000
- Radiator - $600
- Gauges - $500
- Misc Heat Management/Tools/Etc - $1000
- Tune - $600-700
So there's roughly $12.5k with zero allowance for any labor. Also keep in mind that you need to keep a cushion ($5-7k) for the, 'my motor let go fund'.
That just handles the go. You still haven't touch the handling and stopping portions of the car.
Most of us that have gone down this rabbit hole are looking in the rearview mirror at $20k invested.
