$2500 with internals + turbo + labor costs? I don't think so 
Unless you aren't counting incidentals, like a new clutch for one....
With my 311whp SC install, I can tell you one thing - you will really need that limited slip diff Your biggest enemy at 300+whp is traction.

^^^ No internals on this build as of this stage in the build. Labor all free from Industry friends and parts most of them free or very very discounted rate. The ONLY parts full price was paid on were the Dezod parts and thats because I know they are worth every last red cent.

I agree with ya on the dezod part, but you should *probably* not say "Hey, I'm doing this for under $2500" because you'll get a lot of people asking "How do *I* do it for that price?"
Especially when you know the answer is, "YOU don't"

I agree completly and when done I will post a list of all parts and totals if you were to buy them at street price. This will show a lot of guys considering this route just to save Money, That they would be better off looking into a kit from on of the fine manufactures of PNP kits we have avaliable to us.

No and lukly my shop thinks things will tighten up once oil is applied to the mix. I just thought there was a little to much play in the unit...but they assured me everything is ok.

Good luck with the install. I've installed a Dezod kit and a ZPI kit myself; it's always a fun and exciting learning experience installing a turbo.

I am unable to tell you where I work but the industry insiders that know me on this site will vouch for me as to working in the industry.
Thanks the build should only be half of the fun.
