There's a big difference between a manual swap and a 20B installation. For one, a manual swap will cost under $1000 at a shop while a 20B installation will go for over $15,000.

Hey it just so happens that I have a 20B for sale and I could swap the motor in for you too.
But yeah $15k might be a bit light......depending what you want done and your HP goals

well my car is auto and its only a gxl what would be the easiest way to get my hands on a turbo kit. i thought it would be a bit more pricey to get my transmission swapped

Cheapest way to get turbo kit is to get a TII engine and transmission.
No turbo 'kits' exsist for N/A.
You can get a running TII with transmission and ECU for $1600 usually. Alls you would need after that is the mazdatrix TII tranny to N/A driveshaft, or make your own. Or do a complete TII drivetrain swap.
After that you need a TII hood or convert the Top mount intercooler to front mount.
So I think it reality, your looking at about $2000. Which, to me, is a pretty good deal.
