Yah. That's just a wee bit more than I can take on at the moment. I'm definitely looking for a simple bolt-on upgrade.

Cheapturbo.com DID reply quickly to my email, but they said that they cannot get the parts to rebuild the stock Hitachi turbo.

What exactly did they do for $710? What other mods do you have? Is a T-18 the stock turbo?

How about swapping an s5 turbo/manifold setup into your s4? I'm not sure what the gains would be but it would be cheap.

jims5543 had them upgrad a stock s5 turbo to a t04e, and was running 13.08 on 9lbs of boost with 720cc secondaries and a s-afc. Sounds like they did a good job to me.

also, with either upgrade your going to need more fuel. an upgrade is very capable of pushing as much air as a comperable full t04, but probably wouldn't spool as fast. there's a jillion variables

im installing the hybrid now, so i'll be able to tell you what i think of it. If it doesn't work out, I'd say I could get into a t04 w/ manifold, wastegate, oil lines, and an adapter to feed the exhasut to my current downpipe for less than 1G. Depends on how thorough you are.
