why does this turbo cost over $4000? is there anything more involved in making it other than a little bit more metal?

Kinda a supply and demand deal. The development costs are pretty high for this kind of stuff and that has to be re-couped, or they wouldn't stay in business. If you placed an order for 50,000 units, the cost would go WAY down, I'm sure. They'll be lucky to sell 100 units this year. They gotta feed their kids, too
