well that kit is just and will go bad sooner or later (cracked manifold, leaking turbo is common with those kits). Tune is going to cost anywhere from $100 street to $300-400 dyno. Injectors and fuel pump will run you anywhere from $150 (dsm and walbro 300whp) to $400 (up to 550whp)

yea I thought I was going to get my turbo up and going with like a g but by the time I got done with it I was well over 2 so just do your research and make sure that you have everything lined up or serious down time can be in your future.
