To me no Golf or WRX is worth that kind of money! I'm not disputing how money it cost's to build these cars as I know how much you can throw at high performance cars.

Um $10g, I'd hate to tell you golfman but,

First you have to buy a R32. Conservative $45000!
HPA(HGP who's the manufacturer) 542PS/710Nm kit 30'000euro ($50,451.16 AUD!) kit only

Then add roughly 13'000euro($21700AUD) for misc. like upgrade front & brakes, upgrade gearbox internals & gearing to cope with power upgrades etc.

If you don't believe do a check. http://www.hgp-turbo.de/
I can read enough of it to know.

Trust me this stuff isn't cheap.

Lets see $117'151AUD. that's without all of the tax,duty & freight on the parts. Then add the machining costs & engineering/EPA certificates. Oh & labour!

Feel free to correct me.

Another eg. EIP kits. A turbo kit alone will set you back approx $20'000AUD.
Then you have to upgrade the trans, brakes, driveline the lot.

You could build it yourself for less but ask bugracer how much his VR6 will cost finished.
I know my 20VT engine/trans combo will cost easily $25G incl. buying the engine & without buying the car!
This stuff isn't cheap!
