    Its worth what ever it costs assuming I have more money I know what to do with. IE rappers. Seriously tho for anyone worth his salt would pass that up.

    I think I would rather have that money spent on a turbo with options. Like a leather covered rear view mirror, paint-matched key fob, or my favorite leather covered visors; you know important necessities.

    Well ye. The best way to get TURBO and give it to MANSORY or any other tuner. I bet they can turn it up to 600 + HP for 37k
