a quality turbo kit should cost right around $5,000. An engine rebuild isnt neccessary if the rings, seals, etc are 'in check.' If your going to be running high boost levels, you may want to consider some forged pistons. What kind of fuel management was your friend running? Was it dyno tuned? All these things can make a difference in the life of an engine.
