Reworx is your best bet matey, and your looking at between 3 and 5 grand

I think that Clive at shyauto also sells turbo kits, its worth giving him a ring, but im sure they are all around the same sort of money.
HTH
Or you can buy them second hand for about a grand (but they dont come up very often):bandit
there this thread at the minute Ant is selling his mahoooosive To4Z for £2200. but on page 2 (dave) red and single is offering his to4s for £1500 so there are some good deals out there:)

Bear in mind that it\'s not just the cost of the turbo kit, but the other supporting mods that soon adds up. I bought a secondhand kit to save money on the conversion but it still cost me around 3.5k extra for it to be fitted plus FMIC etc etc. If you\'re handy with mechanical things, no doubt you could save a bit.
Like Gandy says speak to the vendors about your options.

Speed is just a question of money ....... how fast do you wanna go?
Don\'t forget to do the rest of it to. injectors and the whole 9 yards. :flamed
yer £2500 half, up A7NTY is selling a lovely kit almost brand new. might be worth a look.

so you are gonna need
uprated injectors £250-£450ish
V-mount or Front mount intercooler /new rad £600 -£1200ish
PFC ecu if dont already have £450-£550ish
Remap £?
Boost controller £180- £300ish
possibly greddy elbow £?
there might be more, i am sure someone else can fill in or correct me on prices
this is assuming the turbo kit comes with downpipe/wastegate/manifold etc
^^ Fuel pump! ^^
Thanks chaps :)

i knew there was more, just trying to picture my bill.
often people will go single around rebuild time, so if that is the case they often go lightened flywheel and uprated clutch (cause it would be rude not to) as the engine is out. however this isnt essential.

Yup, i went single tubby at rebuild time. However, i already had the intercooler, which helped, and a great deal on a fuel pump (BNR33 for £100 - thanks Slippers!).
Also turned out that i had a lightened flywheel at the time, which was nice.

Better clutch more than likely £600 - £1000+
1.5 way LSD £450 (optional really but a necessity over 350rwhp imho)
P.S. As anty has sold his T04Z, my T04S is no longer for sale !!
I\'m looking at going single next year, and I reckon its cheaper to source the bits independently rather than go for a kit. Plus it helps to spread the cost of it.
However I\'m getting the rest the car up to scratch first. Brakes, Suspension and bushes have all been changed. Remember if your car is something like 13 years old all these bits are getting a bit tired, chucking in a big turbo and increasing the power by 100 horse-power isn\'t the best idea if these haven\'t had any attention.
I\'m assuming you\'ve got an Apexi PFC or other mappable ECU already
Cooling is an obviously an issue. I\'ve just done this and has cost me a fortune to have a HUGE Apexi GT intercooler and Koyo N-FLo radiator fitted. Nice to see induction temps of about 20 degrees at the moment and water termps in the low 80s.
Next up on my list is Fuelling: Gonna get a Secondary fuel rail to accomodate larger injectors, a new fuel pump (hopefully the Apexi BNCR33) and fuel pressure regulator, once that\'s all sorted and mapped it\'s on to the...
Turbo finally!!!
