Turbo kits (properly engineered kits that is) for any vehicle will set you back around $4000.... so $4500 is not an unreasonable price. Look at the flyin miata turbo kits for example... these are great kits and they cost around $4000. www.dlralt.com
But like they mentioned, the markup is ridiculous, why not make them cheaper and sell more. I am sure you would make more $$ off of 100 rather than 50. Even if they dropped it 2k they would still be making their profit.[/b]
I assume you have a job right? I assume you get paid to do that job right? Would you be willing to put in 80 hours of work for free?

Not saying there is not some "markup" or that some kits are overpriced, just that I have never seen what I call a quality kit for less than $4000 for any non turbo vehicle. Quality kits have a lot more time on the back end than cheap thrown together ones. Time costs money. If you have ever driven a turbo conversion that was a not-so-good kit you would understand my point. I had a turbo miata that had one of the original BEGI kits complete with intercooler and the drivability sucked ars. Those same kits are still available for around $3000, but the good kits that include a programable ecu replacements, larger injectors, quality BOV etc etc cost around $4000-$4500.

So... All I'm saying I guess is you usually get what you pay for.
