aha, if you are patient you can find parts for a tt conversion cheap and it can run you as little as 1,500, i've even heard of people doing it for about a thousand but they were cut a lot of slack because maybe they picked up parts from a junkyard or a member from 3si.org for really really cheap. If you do it yourself it will be a lot cheaper, because it can be expensive to get a shop to do it.

If you can find a vr-4 engine for cheap then more power to you, they are few and far between in my experiences though as i look on ebay right now i can find one or two.

A used turbo (single) can run from 100-500 dollars im sure depending on the condition its in and power it puts out.
