nope. only if you did some bargaining among buddies, or bought some of the componenets used... esp once I saw the intercooler and full exhaust add secondaries...
Let's see new fuel system, secondary controller, intercooler, full exhaust, I'm guesing a BOV, some kinda ignition box, turbo, plenum, hmmm at this point I would think you would be diving into the engine.... +spacer, pistons, maybe rods... and that's just off my head. Gaskets, tunning, either self install or additional instal fee.... under 5k new??
I'm not knockin you or your setup I just haven't seen/heard of someone really doing it low budget. There's always freebies involved or associated costs that aren't included to make it seem less expensive.
Yes, you can get a complete kit for <4k and you can make 8lbs safely BUT you have to be cautious and make sure your tune is safe. The mechanical FMU's are a freakin' nightmare! The fuel systems are low budget. If the wastegate isn't done right you'll have creep.
If you're a hard rider then I personaly don't think the <4k turbo kits will end up costing you even more. The more mellow rider who doesn't wick things to redline and doesn't hold high revs for long periods of time will do just fine though.
If I were going street turbo I would budget myself 7-9k and end up at about 12-15lbs. I think beyond that, for the street just isn't needed.
Again, I'm not trying to be down on you or negative, just realistic.
