there are way too many variables to give you a concrete price

my suggestion is to research parts, figure out how much power you want, and go from there.

If you gave a goal (other than just turbo), then you would know what turbo, engine management, injectors, etc. that would be required to fit the bill.

If all you want is a turbo, you could maintain stock compression, run 6-8psi, and make your car a hell of a lot more fun for not a lot of dough.

ps. engine forum next time.

There are a few places import shops in KC that your install would be in good hands with, though I wouldn't be able to give you labor estimates.

I'd say from 1k-5k. Vague question gets vague response.

There are so many options! Have fun shopping around.
