Aye, it costs, but you get more for your money.
As with a lot of things you can do it MUCH more cheaply. Skim the std pistons to reduce CR etc, use Megasquirt management, cheap 2nd turbo etc etc.
Id guess that you could have it running for £1500

Reducing the crown width, unleashing a non-hardened surface, use a cheap form of management that appeals to the home bodger (something this guy has said he isn't) using a 2nd hand turbo which could be an utter lemon and isn't suited to the purpose (you forget a custom manifold etc)
To be honest, what he has listed initially if paying someone else to do would be in the region of £3k anyway IMO.
I wasn't saying do it that way, was just proving a point.
It COULD be done cheaply.
