How much does a decent single turbo setup cost for everything?
How much does a decent single turbo setup cost for everything? And I'm not talking about just the turbo itself, along with the headers and intercooler and such. I mean everything you need extra: suspension, tuning, tires, etc. (I really don't know all the extras you need).
How much are you looking at spending plus the cost of a decent turbo to run on the street?

Too much 
There is a lot of variables involved though. Some people slap on an STS kit and call it done without spending much. But depending on the kit you go with (anywhere from 4-6k) I would add about another 2-3k to that just to get the car in running order. Fuel upgrades, all of the electronics, tuning software, etc get expensive and add up real quick.
If you're lookin for some serious power the price will drastically increase....Forged internals, rear end, tranny, etc etc.

take the price of the kit, and double it, if your getting a Phamspeed kit, then triple it, since their initial buy in is so low.
its going to cost about 10k to do it all right.
Fuel
turbos
engine
clutch/converter
rear end
tires to hold the power
fuel injectors
guages
diapers for the first ride(
)
the supporting mods are what add up so fast, no matter how budget minded you try to be the little things just pile up on top of you

I think i spent between 8-9k so far. But thats alot of nickle and dime crap to, that adds up real fast. Plus I had to buy alot of new tools that I needed. Put it this way there is no real end. Once you think you get there you want more.
