Message JWT Pop Charger - $90
HKS Hi-Power Cat-back - $590
Ash/JWT ECU - $300-$570
Specialty Z Downpipes - $485
Test Pipes - $100
GT2860RS Turbos - $3000
Nismo 555 (or 740) injectors - $900
Apex-i AVC-R - $460
Aftermarket Side Mount Intercoolers - $800-$1000

$6725-$7195 give or take (I think that's everything one would need - if I missed anything, it's not much). And that's assuming that the car was stock.

That'll make 500+rwhp easily. I am sure that setup could even do closer to 600+rwhp.

Considering you'll also need the intake, exhaust, injectors, ECU, and intercooler(s), the only extra cost lies in the turbos, downpipes, and the boost controller... less than $4000, and that's with no real fabrication, more power output, and easily adjustable boost levels - advantages that your custom supercharger will lack.

Not to bash your setup, but you're not going to make more power than that for "pennies on the dollar" as you think you will. In fact, I will be greatly surprised if your setup makes 500rwhp when you're done with it, let alone the ~600rwhp that the setup I detailed could probably do.

If you wanted a supercharger, so be it, I'm glad for you that you're almost done with it... but don't fool yourself into thinking your setup is more economical when it comes to power for the dollar.
