you can do anything if youve got the cash to do it, i have looked into turbo for the cabby a few times and theres a lot more to the set up than you would think. from what i have gathered if you are on a DIY budget and fitting up yourself it can be done at around 2k. i have also been offered a drive in drive out service for 3.5k
