Default How much to budget for turbo project? Tacoma

How cheaply do most home setups run? Here is what i want/need:

t3/t4 turbo - refurb'd would work
any intercooler that will work
e-manage
log manifold
and all the nuts n bolts, ic piping, etc

This will be going on a 2.7 liter 4 cyl tacoma. I am looking to get around 300hp (stock 150hp)

How much should I expect to spend? I would obviously like to do it as cheaply as possible. any hints would be great, thanks

I think that it will cost you about $4,000. Cuz if you can't price parts out 4 yourself, then you probably can't piece a kit together.
