Kit price, probably about £1500 for parts... Then there's labour, but you surely don't pay people to do fun stuff like this?

Low compression forged pistons for an X16XE cost about £240. They are made to your specification.

Not sure how much intercoolers are.

A supercharger would set you back about £200-£1000 depending on how much they are going for on ebay...

You'll probably want bigger injectors too, they are about £160 a set new...

I would say it shouldn't cost too much - maybe a similar cost to throttle bodys...
