    S50 Turbo build project costs

    I know this is kind of a loaded question because parts costs are going to vary greatly but I was hoping to get some input from some of those who have completed a turbo build for an S50 and what you spent on the project AND even better what the build consists of. Probably asking a lot but I keep spread sheets for all my project cars with every part and penny I put into it.

    Would be great to get input from those who have built stock motors and full builds with new pistons, connecting rods, head work, machining etc.

    Trying to make a decision if I should just try and go for bolt on until it blows or go for a full pull motor build.
