engine strip down long stud the block new pistons and rebore l and b the crank and rods new oil pump

wrc hg ported head new inlet cam spacer in the plenum 83 lb injectors gt 30 turbo
new rad new or modded intercooler new hoses clutch??
then box diffs etc etc the above is minimum spec and could go a lot further
id say arount 6k for engine with mapping if you did it yourself or about 10 k for a tuner just the engine spec alone...

cheers
