        ehh, you don't wanna know
        $1600 turbo
        $500 waste gate/blow off valve
        around $2000-$2500 for all the piping
        $300 radiator
        $850 Big Stuff 3 (Great deal on that!)
        i dunno those are just some of the really expensive things off of the top of my head. i've done a lot of other things to the car as well....
        oh $600 for the paint work i just had done....

          If someone wanted me to duplicate this particular setup. Figure 11-12K for the turbo kit piping turbo BOV cooling system. I figure we have about 100hrs into building this setup. You could skip the headers and run truck manifolds and that would produce some good results for alot less money but would not be nearly as trick..

              Indeed the original setup of just some truck manifolds and that 76GTS i had would have been much less expensive but not nearly as sweet or powerful.

              which i still have my 6L truck manifolds and stainless works flanges for it if anyone is interested. you can have the manifolds, but i paid like $70 for the flanges if i remember correctly

                                i'm definatly excited as well. considering i went all this summer with out my car. this started as last winters project and just kept getting more and more wild. this ST80 is actually my second turbo. i bought a pt76GTS that i later sold (never even used the turbo)

                                And the 76 was originally going to go where the battery was, so i had hacked out the pass. fender well area. then when i got the 80 it wouldn't fit there so we had to get a patch panel, weld it back in. chopped the core support out for the radiator, and cut the entire front bumper support off and shaved the front of the frame rails, and made the entire bumper, IC and radiator support out of that chromoly round bar.

                                we even had to notch that one section of the drivers frame rail so the charge pipe would fit though. there was a lot of little things that all added up to a lot.

                                I just cant wait to get to the track and hang those front tires high!
