Anyone thinking about this, don't forget to budget $2000 for a proper LSD. No way in hell I would drive one of these cars tuned up to 500+ bhp without one. The pricing of a bit over $5000 seems reasonable to me. I think I paid more than that for the hardware to convert my biturbo S4 to full stage 3 over a decade ago. I think a good estimation of costs are as follows:
Turbo kit: $5500
FMIC: $1000
Software: $1000
LSD: $2000
So you will be somewhere around $10,000 in hardware. Installation cost will vary with your location and you ability to diy or not. If you're paying someone else to turn wrenches, you will be well into $12,000 to be on the road. Not to rain on any parades but I think many members here need a little reality check in terms of real costs. You have to pay to play.
One thing I am not clear on is if this kit is going to come with its own dedicated downpipe or not. Rob?
