Turbo kit, who would be SERIOUSLY interested??

I have full intentions of building a turbo system for my Silver... I have been toying with the idea of offering a full kit w/ standalone engine management as well... There would be two versions.

1st would be a mild kit for a stock engine... Basic maps that allow the car to be driven but the car would need its own individual tune. More than likely using a Gt35r with a large front mount. Possible cost would be as low as $7k.

2nd would be a more aggressive kit for a built engine. Once again basic maps to keep you from blowing it up, but still needs to be tuned. Using a Gt4088R and a larger front mount intercooler. Possible cost would be as low as $8500.

Hot side piping would be made of stainless. For the stock motor pipes that join from the stock manifolds would be used.Built systems would have 1.5" Headers collecting just before the turbo.

Cold side piping will be 2.5" aluminum on the stock kits... 3" on the built kits.

These are rough plans as of now. I need to get my standalone first dialed in for the motor N/A then the turbo build will come shortly after... More or less I would like to know who has the resources and the intention of actually buying this? Otherwise I can simply make a one-off for myself and call it a day.
