How many NSTs in your coil? What are they rated?

It isn't high voltage, you control the feed-side of the tranny so it's ony 
120VAC. You will use something like a dimmer, it's an Autotransformer called 
a Variac


and also, i have a 15kv NST and i was wondering how much it would cost

www.thegeekgroup-dot-org look for the MMC cap page :) They're the best Tesla 
Coil Capacitors in the world, ask around, we're rather famous for them.
