Real cost of procharger build
ya it looks like you have most of the angles covered man, i didnt really have the money either but i realized that if i didnt do it this way that i was going to spend more in the long run... this is not my only car so i started on it two winters ago (been a long time coming) but i know that what i built will stand up and booost while its a lot of fun it is really expensive and ppl need to know that before they get into it... if you under stand it then ur good
i went with the dual kit for my pumps, you can prob get away w/ what you have for now but it wont last long/ you might have the same problem that i did and engine temps where out of the roof and i was loosing fuel pressure at 6000 rpm so i had to go w/ meth... extra 1500 i didnt plan on spending but will keep the engine around and help it perform better
Good luck man, let me know if you have any questions

^^ that is for sure, I planned on putting down 8# of boost and im running 12#. Also had to buy a new rear and tranny to support the power after a year. So add another 10K to the build and that's where im at these days. But love it, wouldn't change it for the world unless I had more to dump into it hahahaha
Yeah, I paid 5k for my d1sc kit used but it also had the truck inlet hat and fmic kit. He is right on the money with the cost, I will be at 21K for my build all done(plus the cost of car and the fact that it had a 9" in it already)
Trans 2K
procharger kit 5K
converter 1100
misc gauges, balancer, flywheel ect 2300
used built motor 4K
wheels and tires to put power down 1600
exhaust 1400
meth kit 500
shifter setup 400
fuel setup 2k
In my eyes you cant just say that you spent X on your build and got X amount of power out of it there is too many variables and everyone has a very different opinion on what is safe to run and stay together. some of my stuff might be overkill but I want to drive my car to the track and drive it home hopefully with no issues!

Verdad Gallardo The guy that was selling it needed it gone right away and had a previous buyer walk away for some reason so I jumped all of it. At the time it was a risk but turned out really well.
Most of the people that think about going s/c think it a few k, so I set this up to show its a lot more than that if you wanna do it right. I love my car but its a investment that most don't understand. I know there is a sticky in FI that "cost of FI" NOT TRUE haha add 15k at least. I just wanted to update it a lil since I know most don't go back and revisit their old treads and then people pull them up and there is missing information.
Just got a pair of NT 05R's that ill be putting on so add another $300 to the list that's never ending hahaha
