The most updated pics he had were of his slicks and a pipe mocked connecting the turbo to the pipe w/ filter.
I'm not sure of the currency rates but a lot of that looks pretty close to US prices, give or take a few (for instance he bought oil lines and couplers that were WAY too expensive IMO.)
He got some kind of ticket for having an immobile vehicle so after he gets that taken care of he said the turbo project is back on.
