All in all: 3+3+4... 10hp diff... for like around $1K... WTF... for about the same... a turbo kit could be purchased... making MUCH more power.

On dsmtuners.com this guy had a 420a and spent about $1500-2000 for his own turbo. He was a welder and pipefitter so he did custom piping and bought them from home depot
