Think he was more bragging than giving an actual solution for anyone to consider following.

Like you basically said, piecing a turbo kit together off ebay, or with some minor beginner fab work can be done fairly easily and cheaply at least compared to a make shift sc kit. Proper pulley alignment alone could be challenging not throwing belts all the time.
I would strongly suggest that anyone wanting to get into force induction, to research, practice simple fabrication, welding, minimal upgrades, and then DIY. You'll understand the car better and become a better more knowledgeable person because of it.

So, yes, I was bragging a little, but it most assuredly is meant for people to do the same, whether it be S/C or turbo.

p.s. me personally, if it was going to cost ten grand to get 300 whp, I'd skip it.
