i do agree that turbo setups can be done going down much cheaper paths, but in those instances the setup sucks, doesnt perform, ***** breaking, and then the engine blows.

On my BBC buildup for the boat, using a basically stock 454, the most expensive part is going to be the turbos themselves. The tunnel ram and TBs won't be too expensive, unless I end up going with a sheetmetal intake, and the Megasquirt injection system isn't going ot cost that much. The fabrication will take some time, building the headers and mounting the intercooler in the tunnel ram will be the only hard parts.

20k together before I would even attempt a 800 hp build of any
