T25/14B turbo - $150-200 (remember, air/oil cooled...none of that water bs)
go to a junkyard and try to get a box of 2" piping - $40 (this is your intake piping)
TiAl wastegate w/ adjustable springs - $300
1G DSM BOV w/ flange - $30
Electric 12v oil sending unit w/ resevoir - $350
450cc/42# injectors - $150
fuel pump - 115
tune - 250
misc - 50 (washers, silicone fittings/connectors, etc)
basically, remove your muffler, and at that point, weld on a corresponding flange to the turbo you use, and weld in the wastegate close, now route that box of piping back to the intake, use maybe a 8psi wastegate spring as you will probably have about a 2-3 psi pressure drop from amount of piping. Tap your oil pan for the oil return and carry out. pop in your injectors and fuel pump...and be on your merry way for probably a little less than 1700 if you can get things used and cheap.
Dude, the rear mount turbo BS isn't the answer to every car. he's got plenty of room in the engine compartment to mount a turbo, coincidentally where a turbo SHOULD be mounted. There are also (as he mentioned) factory manifolds available for him to turbocharge his car.
