Default Turbo Vs Swap Cost

Hey guys
I was looking at the Edelbrock turbo kit and it looks like pretty solid kit. It was around 3400 bucks. But I was wondering what kind of cost I would be looking at putting a B series into my 99 EX. I would like NA but I have no equipment or experience with any major repairs. I would want to keep AC and power steering also.
Thanks

depends on the swap you want, a GSR swap will cost close to 4k. Really there is alot of variables to be considered when choosing between the too. BUT this topic has been talked to death as a matter of fact there was a thread not to different from this last week. SO try the search butten.

Charge Piping: 50
(homemade) Downpipe: 50
Couplers:30
FMIC: 165
BOV:165

Im likeing the numbers i see in your list, I still need some parts to my turbo kit like a down pipe. How did you go about making that on your own? And how effective is uberdate compared to e-manage?
