The FP RA turbo upgrade is $795. Tune will run $300-500 depending where you go. Not sure about installation though but shouldn't be too bad to do it yourself if you know what you're doing.
Take in to consideration down time for your car also.

Silthos, I expected you to hit at least over 300 with the turbo upgrade and supporting mods/bolt-ons. Any track numbers at all like 1/4 mile? Thats interesting
For example with my mods - Boost pill, K&N drop-in, 3 inch catback, High flow cat, Evo X intercooler and piping, plus future 800cc injectors, blacqops fuel pump on 93 octane and then the turbo upgrade from CBRD using the RAD, and considering my elevation to be below sea level, can it be assumed I will be at least at 300WHP with a proper tune from say Chad or Bryan? Imagine adding some cams and springs too.

Silthos peak numbers are great:
(262-200)/262= 23.66% gain
The only thing that looks weird to me is WHEN his power occurs. It's about 1200rpm to the right??? From FP's email, it sounds like they upgrade the compressor wheel to flow more air. So if the turbine is still the same small size it "should" spool instantly, just like the stock RA turbo. But for some reason it's got the lag of a FP Red (which is ~4300-4500 rpm)...
Silthos, just answer this one question, when you get on the gas, does it take until +4000rpm to hit peak torque?? Compared to stock you would notice this as a HUGE difference.
EDIT: Small math error corrected ;p
