Yeah, but a 4psi kit is still going to cost $10K or more, and that's
just in parts.  Manifolds, turbos, downpipes, the rest of the exhaust,
intercoolers (plus finding space to put them), intake plumbing, etc.
Then there's the question of convincing an ECU designed for naturally
aspriated use to understand turbos...

Would you pay $10K for a kit that added 50-75hp?  I don't think many
people would.
