the words cheap and turbo do not work well together your looking at at least 2-3 k to do it half decently

You are looking at the thick end of £5k to do it properly.

It can be done for less using standard management etc but still, it's not going to be overly cheap. Plus I wouldn't turbo a m52, they can take it but I would rather have the insurance of a steel blocked m50.
