expect to pay about $3000 with intercooler and have lots of money in the emergency bank. There was a point in my life where my whole paycheck goes to the car. I kept on upgrading and upgrading. It never ends with turbo!

make sure you have another vechicle to drive just in case something does happen...even if that means rocking a geo metro or a 93 Nissan pickup like me

I would think $4000 should be enough for the kit and give you plenty of extra cash for upgrades/unplanned outages.

Never, ever have enough money. Once you get a paycheck pay the important bills and decide what to buy next for the car
<U>Scientific explanation: </U>
The blackhole does exist and it is a turbo. Blackhole = turbo.

Initial cost $3000+
