There's barely room for one turbo under the hood...I think twin turbos would require a great amount of fabrication with no real gain other than being able to say "I have twin-turbos." Why do you think Supra owners go with a single?

what makes the price get so high up there? I've seen full kits sell for under $3,000. Genuinely curious since turbo is something I might consider in the far future, but not at 10k

Turbo kit 3000-7000
EMS (skip getting a piggy back for tuning, waste of money) 1200
Fueling 600
Clutch 550
Radiator and fans (not a necessity by a really good idea) 300-500
Tune 400-800
And I would set aside 500 or so for little things that will nickle and dime you to death
Also there could be something that I'm forgetting.
Totals 8550. This is based on 5000 turbo kit and the cheapest options from my prices above. Doesn't include labor if you can't wrench yourself.
This is all just based off prices off the top of my head. Some are cheaper, some are more expensive but as you can see, it adds up quick to do it properly.
To the OP. Before you boost your car. I'd spend a lot of time in the FI section. Learn how this car responds to boost, strengths and weaknesses before you even pick a setup. Once you've done that, then start looking at what will meet you goals/needs for the car. There is a lot of info in the stickies. Most, if not all, of the people that post in the FI section are very knowledgeable and willing to help and answer questions if they see you've tried to educate yourself.
