How much does it honestly cost for a turbo kit TUNED?
How much does it honestly cost? This is if you're going to get it installed and tuned. Being that the tC is a daily driver, it is essential to get it tuned correctly for proper gas mileage...

Not counting the cost of the kit itself or gauges, Install COULD be as low as $300. Another couple hundred for gauge install. $100 an hour for tune depending on what manegement you get, and probably 3 hours for tuning.
So a little under a grand.

Just take out a loan for $10,000 and keep any left over money for insurance purposes incase anything were to go wrong. Kit + Install + Gauges + Tune = around 5-9 Thousand depending on what kit you buy, and what tuner you go to

i have a really hard time imagining anyone getting an out of the box kit running with $900.... probably more like 2 grand to be safe. little things WILL pop up, thats life. id just say have an extra 2grand set aside after you buy the kit.

Around 5 grand sounds real. It's not the actual kit that I'm trying to solve but everything after. Tuning...install...etc.

There will be alot more things down the road that you will have to maintain, and replace:

Think about everything that will have to be done....
Now, does my $ 10,000 Loan really sound like its still outta the ballpark? haha
