I am using the stock subframe, its very similar to logans kit. I did my own modifications to the steering rack etc. As far as tuning my buddy who tunes is amazing and is going to hook me up. I just paid for 3 T2 housings for a killer deal, so the price has been up a little bit.
The mounting the of the 20b only cost me 200 bucks in material. I bought some 3" aluminum round stock for the actual mounts and turned them down on the lathe and used some 1/4 mild steel plate for the mount brackets.
If anyone needs mounts let me know

One the cheap side that would be $500. I've also heard the 13B new housings have shot up in price recently so I would be surprised if they would be under $500 a piece (Ray at Malloy quoted me $750 recently but I am sure they can be had for less). I'm missing a bunch of little things also but you get the point. It adds up quickly.
Now if you can do it all yourself, you'll end up at the $15,000 mark I'm confident. Factor in though selling off all the 13B parts and you'll knock off $6,000 or so from the price. The $30K you see frequently quoted is for the vast majority of us that can't do the work themselves. This is for a turbo setup which adds $5,000 easy into the mix. Most of us have spent way more than the $30K figure but I believe with proper planning, the job can be done for the $30K figure.
