i have a 98 lude with 119,000...its pretty much bone stock. What do I need to change to drop that turbo in it? How much am I looking at with the replacement parts and a good turbo kit?

Why don't you research instead of someone giving answers to you! To sum it up all real quick you'd need at least 6 grand in the bank to get started. No sense putting a turbo on a car you're only going to boost 6 psi. Preludes have frm sleeves and have to be sleeved to run forged pistons. Preludes ringlands will not hold up to boost period! I had my block built at golden eagle and it was close to 2800 bucks just for the block. You'd want to have a good valve job done and probably upgrade your valvetrain but stick with stock cams. It's not as simple as bolting a turbo kit up, not even worth it unless you do it right. If you don't get the block sleeved you'll have to sooner or later anyways. Plus if it's sleeved right it should be warrantied to 60 psi on sleeve cracking or sinking!
