He said he already had an I/C, so you can take that out of the cost of the full intercooler kit.

Normally I would agree with you that you need atleast 3 grand to get good a good quality turbo car, however the OP already has a turbo and an I/c which are to major parts of a turbo kit, as well as 2 of the more expensive pieces as well. That is of course assuming they are quality pieces, which is a big if. Also i'm sure he can find lots of parts that he needs around the forums for good prices.

The OP was also not looking at pushin more than 5-6lbs of boost, which i'm sure will change after a little bit. But other than fuel and timing management he should be good to go reliably for between 2-2500 if the parts he already has are quality.
