Nice write up. I've sunk over $40K into mine, not including what I paid for the truck. I thought of all the possible issues and problems I might have down the road. I didn't want to build a 6000# hand granade. Many people build a strong motor but the vehicle can't handle the power. I have $20K in the motor, $10K in the turbo related stuff and over $10k in beefing up the driveline. There are still issues even when looking this far into the future. Turbos generate a lot of heat, so ceramic coating and wrapping the exhaust and wrapping all wires is a must. Much of the electronics associated with todays cars will need to be relocated, away from the turbos and exhaust. Heat shield everything. These all add up to more money...none of which was included in my prices I've listed here.
