I really hope they can find a way to do it for £5-6k and it still be worth their while. If that's an 'all in fitted' price, and doesn't require a fresh rebuild, then I think it would be a very competitive offering. That may just be wishful thinking on my part though. I was quoted double that by a motorsport company for a custom turbo fitted to my R3 a couple of years ago.
I have to say thats one part of the kit which is a bit hard to swallow, while I don't doubt there will be takers for a premium turbo option there are some remarkably cheap turbos these days that will get the kit price down considerably whilst delivering 80% of the performance - where the cheap stuff tends to fall down is time to 'spool' as the aerodynamics aren't as good but when the turbo is £250 instead of 2K you forgive it a lot
