The other side of the argument is that forced induction is hard on your engine and at 60k, it might not be the best move, but IA swears that its a low compression (4.5 psi boost?) and won't damage the engine. Lots of back and forth opinions on this forum about that to read if you like...
We have dropped the price of the 2.5L kit to 5900, and the S to 6500 as we have been able to save some costs by purchasing parts in bulk. The installation is correct.

We installed a 2.5L kit on a 97 with 77k miles on it, and it currently has over 100k miles and still going strong!

A 3.4L kit done properly will run you over 15k, and will make less power.
