From "a lot" to "$5,000 less than a lot" and includes new intake, modified K24 turbos (exchange for yours), exhaust and reprogrammed ECU. However it works extremely well and is worth every penny.

Check with Ruf on pricing - I believe it is priced in Euros, so it varias a bit, but getting cheaper~! Having the X50 does reduce the price over a standard turbo where you are changing out K16's.
It involves dropping the motor out of the car (which is not a big deal) to get to the top and intall the intake, they change the turbos, the air filter, put on new exhaust, reprogram your ECU for the increase in air flow and to add some fuel and you are off and running - gives you around 550 hp and 580 ft.lbs. of torque - your car will be significantly faster than stock.
Work is generally done at their shop in Dallas, but maybe they will fly a tech to your shop to do the work, but then you would addd the cost of travel and hotel etc... may work out to the same as transport to Dallas. At the same time it would be a good idea to add diverter valves and upgrade the clutch. Your X50 transmission is fine for this power level.
