Any time I've ever boosted a car, the costs are way more than the "kit" you buy.

Yes absolutely. You have to upgrade other parts to make sure stuff doesn't break and performs properly. I'll personally have no problem with that part of the costs. I am just curious as to the initial price of the kit. I've already got someone to install and tune for me so that's a plus. I was thinking $3,000 might be a reasonable price for a kit. I mean it is just a single turbo after all, so there's not a lot of hardware.
Basically with what I currently owe I can get up to $10,000 cash if someone buys my Camaro for the reasonable price I'm selling it for. So I'm thinking I'll want to have that money to blow on the turbo kit, tune, upgraded parts, wheels, suspension, and a proper aftermarket body kit.
