Let me see if I have this straight: You can't even drive, but want to mod your Supra already?
What is the legal driving age where you are?
Have you even enjoyed it yet? It may have more than enough power for you as it is now.

Eh, whatever. The cheapest way would probably to buy the parts you need from someone parting out a car with those parts.
You still need to deal with the issues of oiling the turbo since the NA block is not set up to deal with the turbo's oiling needs. You need to either tap into your current block or get another one.

You will need an oil pan ($25), 440 cc injectors ($50), turbo (about $130), turbo feed/return line ($15), turbo elbow ($20), probably a different exhaust ($?), possibly a CPS?, possibly a different fuel pump, I should know if the fuel rails are different along with the pulsation dampener and fuel pressure regulator since I do sell those--but I am not sure about that, AFM (about $85ish), ECU for the turbo $85, intercooler and its piping ($110), BOV ($15)and many other stuff probably. I listed the parts that are stock since I have dealed them out or will deal them out.

Or you can just buy an engine from a JDM shipper whole for about $1100 plus shipping, and then get the ECU.

I am pretty much a "if it is not broken, don't mess with it kinda guy," I suppose...happy wrenching if you go that route though.
