7k if you do it yourself. Double that if you can't. This on a car that can't handle the power of a simple 3L swap.  It would sure be a fun ride but you would not even get half what you spent on these mods alone out of the car later. Then again you don't mod a car for resale value either.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I'm at right around 13K with my built 3.0L, turbo kit, and neccessary drivetrain upgrades.

I'm at about $16,000, which includes the purchase price of my SVT  That's a built 3L, HMS trans and a good DIY'er turbo kit with lots of goodies.

Mine is probably about 15 for everything, 1st and 2nd turbo set-up, built 3L, tranny upgrades, wheels/tires, suspension, stereo, etc.
That also included the price of the car.
98 E0 SVT with some stuff
