shop cost to go turbo?

anyone have any idea what a shop would charge to turbocharge a 84 -se. I know its gonna vary quite a bit from shop to shop but i was just wondering if anyone had any ballpark ideas. I dont want anything over the top. Not going for much boost since my engine isnt set up for high boost, just a few psi so the turbo wouldnt have to be the **** or anything.

I'd guess around 3-4k for a shop to do it all for you.

Try your hardest to find a place that's done it before. seriously.

There will be fab work involved as you know and any old ricer shop will probably **** your **** up.

Maybe you could find an old cartech (is that the name?) kit on ebay or something.
