Alpine Developments Turbo kit :

I can't find a list of what's included, but it increases whp by about 66. Price is $2950.00

----------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, the RE kits are the most powerful, but are expensive. The Alpine kit might be the better choice for someone on a smaller budget. These two sites also sell turbokits, however the kits are made for the budgets & horsepower goals of the individual. Meaning, that they're made when you order them, so you won't find any kits or prices on their sites. You'll have to contact them to get a kit.
