the base kit (which is on my car) is $2900, and then the alcohol injection. We are still prototyping the alcohol injection, but it will be relseased soon enough.

Catalyst, that is sweet and that a great run you had, kick *** reaction time. I let the wife read all the post regarding turbos and such and she has finally agreed that after we get her in a new car(within the next month or 2 hopefully) that I can get a turbo. I would have done it without asking her, but we just bought a house 2 months ago and need to make joint decisions in all major purchases(this is the only down side of getting married)

That kit is $3500. It comes with air-water intercooler, and the upgraded turbo.

Alcohol injection, I know it prevents detontation and increases your boost, but is the internals going to be okay?

alcohol injection alone does not increase boost

IF you increase the octane rating of the gas, you can run more boost. So you spray alcohol into your intake charge, which causes the octane rating to go up, you can run more boost.

Exactly what I said, it increases your boost. How much boost can your turbo t25 handle? And
how is your alcohol being dump, manual or by computer?

ahh, so your boost doesn't increase when you inject alcohol. You have to manually up your boost. I see.

propane is more like nitrous. Alcohol is completely different.
