I'd rather just buy a turbo kit and build up the motor a bit.

It could be done for about 15k-ish depending on how extensive the build is and how much of it you are capable of doing yourself:

Turbokit: $5,000 ish
Clutch: $700 ish
Full Exhaust: $1,000 ish
Oil Cooler: $700 ish
Injectors: $500 ish
Boost, Oil Temp, Wideband: $1,000 ish
Tuning: $1,500
Pistons: $600 ish
Rods: $800 ish
Head Gaskets: $400 ish
Valve Springs: $250 ish
Head Studs: $300 ish
DSS 600hp Axles: $1,000
Fuel Pump: $150 ish

Total for all of that runs $13,950 and I aimed high on quite a few items. Some of that can also be aruged whether or not you'd even need it, I suppose.

I would just run a 2871R with the supporting mods on stock internals and shoot for around 300whp and call it a day.
