One more added cost I omitted...

...is the possible need for a larger (3") exhaust system. Added boost, even four psi, means greatly increased exhaust-gas temps (EGT), necessitating at least a larger-diameter downpipe and cat. Beyond that point increasing the exhaust size is optional, however. If I recall, my 3" exhaust (parts, exhaust-pipe fabrication, and installation) cost me around $750, though kits are available for ~$500-600 for DIY installation.
So there you go with the costs required for our insatiable lust for boost: (1) Device to increase boost, (2) exhaust modification, (3) water injection or larger intercooler to allow boost to occur in hot weather with normal pump gas, and (4) possible clutch/PP mods. After all that you'll have a helluva car.
