$7 grand sounds about right with labor and them adding more profit for buying the parts needed. the gt2x would be a manageable DIY for anyone with some basic mechanical skills. The only hard part is getting the cat off but some have posted nice solutions. You can take the gt2x in steps unlike the other turbo kits. I hate promoting the elims, but the gt2x is better than a ko4 and better to drive than a gtrs/71r setup.

..but how much do you think i would spend if i went gt2x w/ a fmic and bigger exhaust manifold...or would i even need the exhaust manifold?

Pass on the gt28r. Its not DBB even though its a gt turbo. Might aswell go t3 60trim since the cost is the same (if not less)and it flows the same as a gt28rs with the same basic spool.
