2K might get you the hose clamps and silicone joiners. I would have thought closer to 7K.

Not sure if serious.

A Spec L exhaust is $2k. This kit will also need headers, intake and exhaust. I assume it comes with reflash software but I could be wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if the kit alone costs $8-$10k and with all associated mods you have no change from $15k.

Half the value of the car for 50hp. You'd have to be insane.

It all depends on what it does to the torque curve.

Not sure of price just yet, and not even willing to guess. One thing i do know is that what ever it does cost, you can be sure the quality and reliablity will be second to none.

Can't wait. Hope they also have recomendations/produce the drivetrain components to handle the increased power.

I reckon you wont get much change from 10k

I can never understand this. How can a car be built and sold at a profit for 30K, but an air pump, a belt and some metal tubing cost 10?

I was a little disappointed to see that it is a centrifugal blower, ie, a belt driven turbo. I would have preferred to have seen a twin screw.
