Seriously though I think $6000 is a low estimate to get a NA engine to 250hp. If a Swedish Dynamics mechanic got that much out of a 900S I'd bet the ranch he had about $6k worth of his own labor to get that much. I'd like to see somebody do that paying $60 an hour for shop labor rates and it would add up in a hurry. When you can spend a grand and bolt on turbo improvements to about 220 and not even open up the engine, the choice is yours but I have to side with Raul on this one.
