Default how much should i expect to spend?

Hi, i've been doing a lot of researching and i was wondering how much i should expect to spend on piecing together a turbo kit for my 92 CX with a GSR swap. I was thinking about going with (initally) a B-series turbo manifold...and maybe a T3....i dunno.....also from what i can tell the Starion FMIC is the most popular...also seems to be pretty nice looking. Only thing i heard is that the T3 will run out of steam higher into the rpm band. Thanks for your input...great forum btw

If you can do most of the work yourself... probably about 1200-1500 bucks.

those prices seem kinda high...i'd be buying a lot of stuff used, like the manifold etc. Any suggestions for what turbo i should use?
