I'm interested in anyones experiences but I do agree the biggest bunch should come from the slant guys. I think charlie s has been doing it since the 70s I believe. Dunno how much trouble he had out of it over the years though. Mine has less than a grand in it so far. 500 to 600 I think. The hoses and fittings are what killed me. All stainless line and AN fittings.
 
I found a kit on eBay here not long ago that came with every thing (except manifolds) and had the gt45 turbo for under a grand, even had a small dress up kit for radiator, heater hoses and some other misc stuff that wasn't "nessasery" (sp) but was still nice and cheap.
