Why are they your goal? - To see what's achievable in below mentioned budget. Also 496.636kW is 666hp ;D
What are your plans for driving the car? - Dry weather daily
How capable are you of doing your own work? - I do all my own work
What have you done to the car already? - Full bolt on N/A, Sprintex SC, Borgwarner Turbo, back to full bolt on N/A, clutch, suspension, diff bracing, solid mounting, misc
Can you afford to have the car down for long and sometimes unexpected periods of time? - Longest I've gone without it was 4.5 months. It's one of 3 vehicles so no issue with down time
And the biggies - What is your budget for install? What is your budget for maintenance and repairs? - $25,000 AUD
Not many people realise the full budget required. Mine will incorporate a built motor but honestly, talking AUD:
Turbo kit -5,000 - 8,000
Clutch - 1,000
Injectors - 600
EcuTek tune (license etc) 1,000 to 1,500
Flex Fuel Kit - 1,100
Tyres or wheels to suit higher power - 800 to 2,500 (very broad prices there)
Total - Around $12,000 AUD roughly. That's around $9,000 USD approximately. And that's only on the stock motor and haven't even included any exhaust system work in that!
A good turbo for anyone is driver mods.

Perfect. Now if the OP gave all the same responses then his first post it sort of silly. Be willing to bet his answers are the total opposite of yours.
