$2000 to $2500 I honestly suggest a kit. Not that I am being lazy or changing my ways but with no disrespect ment if you are just now getting into all of this for the first time and you only want 200 to 225whp then I dont suggest a person that dont know all the ins and outs of turboing to go on a buying spree for a custom setup.

Honestly that is hard to beat simple as that.

It is the return line for your turbo. Oil goes into the turbo to lube the berrings that the wheel spins on then exits through a tube and into your oil pan to be filtered and cooled with the rest of your oil

its not that hard to drill the oil pan. you just need to make sure you drill it above the oil level. its not hard.

I have the exact same engine...and im only 16 but i check stuff out thoroughly, turbokits.com has a great selection of turbos for our engine and most of them make over 200 hp with just the turbo, put some new pistons and connecting rods in that, bump up the boost and wow, but then again i dont kno much
