craig, where ever you got your items let me know LOL. It's impossible to turbo a non turbo with 300 bucks. I'm gonna name some items (not all) and name the lowest prices you'll find.

Turbo: $150
Exhaust Manifold: $150
Turbo elbow: $100-150
Down Pipe: $200
Intercooler: Stock = $60-$100
After market intercooler: $100-$200

If you don't have a welder and pipe cutter than it'll cost an extra 400+pipe cost and labor to make your own intercooler piping. Other wise it'll cost.

Intercooler kit: $300

These I'm not sure if needed but I've done a lot of turbo jobs on cars and I've used all these. You may need bigger injectors and a fuel pump. Not sure about this but you may need a turbo ecu, turbo wire harness, and MAF sensor. Turbo boost gauge, air/fuel gauge.

All these items on top total range from used $300-$500.
New $1500-$3000 Depending where you get it. NOTE: I got this quote directly from the dealership.

MAF: $850
Wire harness: $1500
ECU: $800

I'm just naming from experience all the parts that I used to get my other cars to run turbo. Since none of my other cars came with turbo models I had to use all the options above except the harness, turbo ECU, and MAF. From my experiences it'll cost you close if not over $1500+ if you're choosing to do a cheap job.

May need the stock turbo intake mainifold and throttle body. Other wise ECU will most likely go haywire(crazy).

Though I have to point out that you may need a engine piggy back system unless you do an exact replica of a turbo motor.

I'll be expensive and time consuming, thats why I said it's better to just swap motors. I have not even mentioned tuning your car and all the other stuff needed. You may need the fuel rail. If you live in a state that requires emissions testing than you need the turbo model EGR system. Though I don't know if the check the VIN since I don't live in that kind of state, if they do than you are going to get screwed.
