i dont have a budget yet . i will mostly likely looking for some one or shop to do it. i am too new to florida and dont know anyone to help yet. i dont want to buy cheap but i'm looking to get an idea on what i will be spending. i am handy but am coming for working on bmw's self taught because of the cost of labor on bmw's(simple brake job 500 bucks 
_). so i will be learning lexus but i dont think this is where i should start. by it would be good to be able to help to start the learning curve

If it were up to me, there would be only two choices: NA-T or GTE. With the NA-T, you can always get a boost logic kit, I think they would run like $4,000. Don't quote me on it. The GTE to me is simpler because all you have to do is drop it in and wire it up. If you go JDM GTE, it will cost almost the price of a kit uninstalled but at least you will not have to worry about doing a head gasket or worry if your tranny will hold X amount of horsepower. 1JZ is still a mystery to me because I got rid of my swap before I even tried it. The swaps are relatively cheap but I don't know much about them.
