Turbo will run you at least $1000+ if you build a kit yourself. Premade kits are around $2000+. Look in the members projects section and you'll see my turbo thread which I did myself. It takes time, work, and money and on a stock block can only boost at ~10psi tops. It also depends on the condition of the motor right now too. I would not boost a motor if it's in bad condition. Compression test is the key to that.
