A good second hand turbo will cost around $300 from a wrecker (VG30 or some such). Then you can buy a cheap ebay manifold (but you will have to tig up supports for it and it will have a shelf life). Then you will need oil feed and oil drain (again welding, this time into the sump) and you will need another small misc stuff.

I SUPPOSE you could do it for $700, but you'd have to have great mechanical skills, great welding skills and know the possible problems (eg staying low boost so you dont blow your head gasket).
