Cheaper than I thought:
Tnetics + JGS WG: 1150
Intercooler: 160
Silicone/clamps: 150
Mandrel bends/Vbands: 220
Oil lines: 60
Threaded IAT: 20
Filter: 30
Truck manifolds: 80
As always MISC ****: 200
ebay BOV: 20
Header wrap: 80
=2170
This is just for the turbo parts, obviously you'll have to add gauges, tuning, fuel.

well the word "cheap" is subjective imo. I easily have about $1800 tied up into my fi setup alone. and thats just the parts and doing alot of my own fab and install work. If a shop does the work it will only shoot up from there.
I also agree on not going the ebay route on things like wg, bov, and other way too cheap to be true parts found on there. after all the time and money spent, I would not want a failure due to a part made in poor fashion. There are a few sponsors on here that will tell you the same. good luck
