It ended up being more expensive because I bought a lot of stuff brand new and shiney. Like the Beatrush pulleys, I just over paid for bling. New intercooler, new turbo, etc etc. The build could be done much cheaper if you can source more used parts and not get all JDM crazy like me. Also, obviously if you can do the work yourself, you save a few grand right there. Getting stuff from Japan is super expensive once you add up all the broker fees and shipping costs. Thanks again and good luck with your build.
