Going SC this summer: How much $?

Iv decided to definantly go supercharged this summer while I'm out of school and have time to spend on it. I bookmarked all the how-to's on it and I would like to thank the guys that spent time on making those. Their going to be a huge help to me and I'm sure they've helped a ton of other people. So here's my question though; for those of you that have done this build or know someone that did, how much does this cost on average? I know it varies but I just want kind of a ballpark figure to go off of.

$1500 for the necessities. There are things like various gauges/gauge pods and exhaust components and whatnot that not everyone will buy, but the actual hardware will run about $1300ish and the tune is $250

Talking

I am at $1500 right now, but I have about another 300-400 to get, plus the tune. This includes the AEM wideband and the boost gauge. I also have some other expenses as I have to get rid of the SAI so I need a header and DP and I am doing the windshield washer reservoir relocation as well.

go fully bolted, tuned with a small shot like 75 since you don't need power all the time anyways )

ya i was planning on doing that when i first got my car, but now im really set on the idea of just throwing the m62 on it. so what im looking at is about 2 grand to be safe? i dont want to skimp on parts, im looking to do this right with quality parts.
