If you ask Leiden, then it costs not much. If you ask madaltezza, then it costs lots.

Point is that both builds are completely different. All comes down to your budget, and what you want to achieve in terms of power level, response etc.

You could turbo it using one of the cheapo kits on Trademe, or go custom and spend well into 15-20k easy!

How far do you want to go with it? Keep stock internals or?

Contacting me for parts

wow 15-20k......I have another thought wondering if Altezza is worth putting all that money into , or should I just save up and get a Evo 8 or 9 , if I have to spend over 10k

but just how much hp can you get with 15-20k ( even tho I dont even have that kind of money ) lol

With around 5k you can get a GReddy Turbo kit in there and get around the 180kW mark, a little bit more and get 200kW.

im preety sure if you wanted to do it on the cheap you could do it in my opinion. if you have time to wait for cheap, good quality items and can do alot of the work yourself.

I'd say somewhere around the $2000 mark if you were a engineer and could do alot of the fabrication work yourself, otherwise be prepaired to pay $800 - $1000 for a decent turbo manifold, I think that guy on Trade-me may have finally got his ones in the country, Hit him up.
