yeah, i hear you. it's a lot of money. but think about it for minute:

ECU tune - $900 / 18 HP = $50 / HP
Headers - $1500 / 25 HP = $60 / HP
Turbo - $8000 / 75 HP = $106 / HP

i know the headers and turbo numbers might vary a bit, but i still think the ECU tune is in the ballpark. the real bummer is that NA cars can't gain nearly as much from ECU tune as turbos.
