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.

Koyorad makes a very nice quality piece. The Mishimoto and Blackworks racing radiators are alright also. Nice thing about them is they have a lifetime warranty. I have the BWR radiator for now. I plan to get a dual pass radiator like the ones below as they cool more than the ones I listed above.

The rywire one comes with -16an fittings for the radiator hoses so you'd have to buy adapters for it.

This is a true statement. I have put many new and used turbo kits on other cars and had no idea how far it would go with my build towards the end i was happy that i was able to custom make my set up but with how stressful it was in my personal opinion if you have the knowledge and tools and space i do not see a problem with it but for the sake of just having everything done for you SOS kit is clean and works well.

Atleast from what I've been able to study up on from wanting to go the turbo route myself, there are many things to condsider. The kit itself is going to run you at least 3k for a used but good branded kit. Then as stated previously you'll need other componentry such as an ems, injectors, fuel pump, clutch, and depending on which turbo kit you decide on you might need an oil relocation kit. Once you have all of that, you need to make sure the turbo kit is installed in your car right. And while you're doing that you might want to think about heat shielding as certain manifolds create tons more heat than others, but still, going turbo will generate a lot of excess heat that you'll need to be weary of. Then once you get that done, you'll need to get a good tune from a reliable tuner. And if you're lucky, your transmission and differential will last you a couple years.... Thats why I think I'll be going the supercharged route. lol. I'm not saying things won't break with a supercharger, but it definitely won't break as fast. lol
