I can tell you cheap is not the way you want to go with turbos, especially if it's an aftermarket add-on kit. If it's not installed right, you could have a useless lump of iron on your hands. Personally, I'd probably try to get a supercharger for it. Because of the pulley and gear ratios, it's hard to get a supercharger to over-boost an engine. Whereas with a turbo, if you don't have the wastegate settings just right, or your bypass valve malfunctions, you could get over-boost very easily. Just my $0.02.
