Turbo conversion

How hard is it to replace a regular engine with a turbo and how much should I expect to spend. Last year my tranny went bad at the track so I replaced the flywheel, started, tranny and differential with a turbo set up. What should I expect (ease of finding one, ease of install, cost, etc.) if I want to go all the way with a turbo engine?

spent less than 2K but I had a complete donor car...

GTUs Shell= 700 bux
misc. parts and tools = <700 bux.....
labor= a lot ( i have the scars to prove it)
time ( from engine install to fire up)= 8 days
total time from tear down of donor car to fire up= 4 months
the pleasure of hearing the car turn over for the first time= PRICELESS
