T2 MSW Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I see figures of 10k/15k being thrown about for single turbo builds and I really don't see how people are spending that much on average? Is that including labour etc or just parts? I've never converted a car myself and mine is only BPU but I'm just curious if someone could give a breakdown of cost of whats involved? Surely there's someone on here that has spent less and still has a quality build if they've taken their time garthering parts whenever bargains have came up. From rough estimates/calculations in my head here's what I think is necessary and rough costs. Turbo - £850 (e.g. Borg Warner S366) Manifold - £1000 (New 6Boost/2nd hand Whifbitz) Wastegate - £300 (40mm Turbosmart etc) Injectors - £500 (set of 2nd hand ASNU 1100cc for sale on here at the minute) Downpipe - £100 (2nd hand for example and get it modified to fit your particular setup) Air filter - £50 Standalone ECU - £1600 (including fitting and mapping, based on my local prices with a LINK G4+) your rough estimates are way out. If you want to do it cheaply you will end up boing it twice. Turbo kit is £4k alone (granted maybe £2.5k second hand) ECU £1.5 - 3k - personally id be going with the syvecs injectors I would never buy second hand as they get full of crap and cost a fortune to get cleaned and flow tested - £1000 exhaust - £500 fuel rail - £200 fuel system to support power - £600 Oil cooling - £400 Thats over £9k in parts alone. Then labour on a single is not cheap - I would not expect to see much change from £3k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
