Cost of putting turbo?

[CamryMax]

Well, it's almost midnight, and I'm bored, so I checked out some turbo stuff on ebay. Turns out they are pretty cheap, if that's the right one i found. EBay

Just wondering, how much would it cost to put on turbo on 5sfe engine? I'm noob at turbo, I just wanted to know what are major parts I would have to replace and etc. What could be my expenses for basic turbo set up?
It's just the idea of turbo on a camry give me adrenaline rushLOL

lol. ...its expensive. I wouldn't even think of doing it on a car as old as a gen3 without factoring in an engine rebuild/internal upgrade. Read up and use the search button.

Thanks! Yeah i was searching all over the TN, some interesting stuff, but a lot I don't understand. Well at least I know it's expensive, I won't even bother thinking about it lol I envy you people with boosted camry's.

Been there, done that, and grenaded a piston.

I spent about $1200 doing a custom setup. Did all the work myself.

A good source for info is a book called Turbochargers by Corky Bell.

That doesn't sound too expensive. How long did it take you to do all that work?

^ I did it over a weekend.

Gathering the parts took a few months though.
