Definitely a bonus that it's supposed to be an easier install vs the top swap.

I would budget 2600 for the turbo kit (new) 250 for injectors, 100 for a fuel pump (might as well IMO, its safer ) 100 bucks for some ebay tubing to connect an Intercooler (sourced from a JY audi/volvo or similar) and then you need a tuning solution.
(lets ignore the trans for now) That gets you off to a very solid start IMO. others with more knowledge may throw more at you, but a ~3k budget (less tuning) should work.
