Welcome!

Ballpark:

100-200 hours and as low as $1000-1500 for turbo parts - you make all piping custom.
30-60 hrs and around $2500-3000 for turbo parts and piping custom made (my path).

Lets see I yanked my motor then worked on it everynight after school or work for about 3 weeks to finish the header all piping fuel system get new engine fired fix a $#!+ load of problems. Then add about
$1000 bucks machine block/head install valves
piston/rods $900
turbo $1300
random parts for setup maybe another $2000

Not to mention the 50 or 60 hours i spent porting the head + time for motor assembly then re assembly then fix any other problems that popped up.

It was alot of work to get everything the way i wanted it but man is it worth it.
