You "should" do engine trans and diff mounts, call that another 500.00 . You'll need a tuning suite and tune , 1-1.5k. Tires 1.5k . Boost controller 500.00. This is just off the top of my head stuff and it's already at 5500.00. Just sayin.

Then you're figuring a few thousand more for labor, too. If you started with a base Z, another couple thousand to get a real diff in there. Brakes too. It wouldn't be hard at all to crack $20k doing a turbo build right.
Also, it's not a great idea to do this to a car you still make payments on. If something happens, it would really suck to be making payments and turbo kit payments while the car sits broken.
