Haha I figured it was worth a shot. Yeah I see s2carbonworks and heeltoe automotive make nice carbon ones, but they are $150 plus shipping which is a rip off for what it is. I ended up making my own polished out out of thin sheet metal and it it looks pretty good, but I want a carbon one now.
anything is better than paying $150 for a peice of carbon fiber that is only on the top

Basicly a used kit 3000 then you add injectores, fittings, lines, bolts, fuel systel, ems, exhaust work, and a tune, it would easily reach 6 grand. Especially if your trying to break 500rwhp. Trust me I'm there lol.
Used turbonectics 60-1 water cooled Turbo kit- 2000
New coating on dp etc- 100 bc dsdcdd is my hoe.
Act hd pp with oem flywheel- 450
New oil/ coolant lines/ hoses ( used ones were shitty)-100
Aem ems 1052U- 800
Inlinepro exhaust- 500
New oil, coolant, ect- 150
Walbro 255 (a must)- 100
Id 1000 injectors- 450
Oil relocation kit- 200
Aem serial gauge- 180
Ported intake manifold- 100 plus my stock
New 3ply couplers and tbolt clamps-120
Step cooler spark plugs- 150
Tune/dyno time-500
New exhaust flanges/ welding- 100
This is just some stuff on top of my head. Spent 2000 on a used kit and I'm already at 6K. Keep in mind I'm only going for around 450-500rwhp.
Added to this bc my car dropped some valves
New built block with mahle low compression pistons- 2100
Built f20c head- traded my stock + 600
Labor- 1000
New hardtop- 2000
Ssr sp1- 1000
Soon new tires-500
Your turbo could also have a bad seal, used or new and screw you out of another couple hundred bucks.
Just be ready for anything that could go wrong. Like joey said any kit can be reliable if done right.
Pay to play right? Lol.
