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.

that kit will also need a injectors, fuel pump and fpr... those 3 things will put you over the 1k mark. so TE is still correct. ntm if you plan on running this thing correctly n not destroying ur engine ur gonna need to tune. so there's another 300-500 for a piggy back, then the tune... eh 500-600ish. then by that time it's time to rebuild the bottom end and get a new clutch, and time for another tune... isn't this fun?
Those kits aren't that bad engineer my friend has had one for about 6 months now the only thing ****ty on them is the manifold ( if its a tubular ) they crack easier because they use really thin metal, better off going with a log in that case but all in all he is extremely happy with it.
I would never buy a turbo kit from ebay.. Buying a Turbo alone you can find good deals, but those kits are knock offs that are made cheap... Ive heard numerous stories about the front mounts in them/shaft play on the turbo's/ and the crappy welding on everything.. Just because it looks shiny doesnt mean its good..
