Various companies are selling cat less dp for $1500-$1600 " Yes, it's the MB tax". Labour is around 5-6 hrs as you have to drop the tranny unless you want to cut the dps. You will also need a tune with Catless dp.
Most turbo upgrades are oem housing with internal modification. It's a bolt on modification, you can look at Pure/Eurocharged for reasonable pricing.
With the above mods, you will be looking at around low to mid 600 whp.
Anything more like e85/meth/big turbo and your tranny might act up.
This is not a good platform to make big power
So far quickest advertised is only 10.5/6 at 130mph in the quarter and that is pushing turbo to its limit and not something you would want everyday unless you got the $$ to play.
