Default Custom Turbo Kit

I have read a few posts here and there about ppl that might be making turbo kits for the sc3. Just wondering about the status on these and who out there is considering / currently making one. I know 95sc300t was considering....
Im sure the market for a cheaper turbo kit would be great

There are already various turbokits available for the SC300. If you want cheap, buy the F-Max kit. If that isn't cheap enough, try tuning Hondas instead .

I did not ask if there was a turbo kit.
I asked if somebody else on the forums was making a custom kit.
I read somewhere that 95sc300t was making one for something like $3k, and I was curious as to whether or not it will be avail. soon.
Sorry but IMO Fmax, Toyomoto, etc.. are making a killing @ $5k-6k+
Just because I don't have a Honda doesn't mean I should have to waist my money.

That would be great, any approximation of the cost?
