If you have limited knowledge, be prepared to spend A LOT of money. Set aside the install and tuning, chances are there will be lots of little quirks that pop up. If you don't have the knowledge to diagnose stuff on your own and know what type of stuff to monitor and look out for, you are going to be paying a premium for somebody else to do it.

Even if you have pretty good knowedge and mechanical ability, it will still cost you a good bit. You can get it done for $5k, but I'd recommend actually buying quality parts (IE PTuning, P&L, FBM, ...) to avoid shit going wrong and costing you more later.

You can find examples ranging from shitty tuned cars making 450hp that actually ran for months, to cars throwing a rod in parking lots with supposedly good tunes making 230hp. If you aren't prepared to possibly have your car down and it costing you thousands, don't bother.

"Buy once, cry once." and "You gotta pay to play." are mottos to live by when it comes to modding cars.
