Talking IS350 Cheap Ebay Turbo Build

Has anyone done, or can research how much it would cost to run a cheap ebay turbo kit? I see 350z's getting boosted with just ebay parts for like 1-2k, some is300's for literally 700 dollars, and we all know the infamous honda cheap turbo builds. I don't care for an insane 9mesh esque build, but something cheap, the cheapest possible. Put tuning aside, just straight up the cost of making a turbo build. And if you have done it, would love to see your builds!
(Please don't bring up nos, and how its cheaper etc etc.. we can open up a different thread for that, would love to discuss it but not on this thread.)

I think a few people have done the rear mount turbo stuff. But I think most people are doing superchargers when they go forced induction on these cars. But it would be awesome to see more turbo builds.

There is no such thing as a cheap Lexus Turbo build. Everything would have to be custom made fabrications and welding's. Every pipe, hose, mounts, everything. Gaskets, clamps O Rings would all have to researched a sourced. If you google there are a few who did T the 3.5 V6 but they spent major money. Unless there is something I don't know?

Unless.... it's a 2JZ.
