Hmm, that would be at least $12K, not including the cost of the core motor. There are some very expensive items needed like a TEC-3 system with custom manifolds for a turbo (probably about $6K min). Flat-top low compression pistons, custom exhaust, the turbos itself.
I would break it down like this:
Core engine, 3.2 in need of rebuilding $5000
Engine Management and intake system to run the engine with two turbos $8K
Rebuild of the engine itself to your 'turbo-ready' specs $8K - standard cost for an engine rebuild.
All the turbo stuff (exhaust, turbos, etc.) $5K
That adds up to about $25K in parts alone, and I think my estimates are pretty reasonable.
But it would be a cool project!
