engine/gearbox - 1800
Fitting - 1200 - 1500
Computer - 1600
Tuning - 1500
Fuel / brakes - 1000 or so

Total - 8000 or so

Some places are much cheaper / dearer than others so the total could vary by up to 2000. AND there will definately be lots of little things that you haven't thought about so yoou'll need 8 - 9 grand. Of course if there's anything that you can do yourself, then doo it. It WILL save money.

And if you'r going to the trouble of putting in a high-tech turbo engine, I'm sure you'll want a quality exhaust.

True, the 10,000 would only be if the car was a cheque-book special and you did nothing but pay other people.
