The build is well under $1000.00. I believe for us it was approx $700.00, but we had a 92 saab turbo that we took the turbo and injectors from. The price does include an entire 2.5 in diam. stainless exhaust; no cat and muffler is not stainless.
The engine is completely stock. I have to emphasize that using the saab 22.4lb injectors was a VERY important part of the tuning process, otherwise you would have to purchase a rather expensive begi rrfpr or equivalent. When time permits an AFR will be fitted to ensure proper ratio.
I would like to point out to Jaxx, that if he believes that this set-up is inefficient, that Porsche must have screwed up when they designed the 944 turbo. their turbo feed pipes are much longer. This holds true for many very sucessful factory/independently built street and track cars. One must also consider some of the remote turbo systems as well. Although I don't like them, they do work well.Last edited by Esprit; 05-11-2010, 04:13 AM.
