If you were going to build an NC turbo...

I'm pretty sure I could do it pretty well for $4K including a new turbo and Xede.
I'd likely run the following and do the fab work myself:
GT3071R ($1250 new?)
Homemade ceramic coated mild steel manifold (~$250)
3" home-made exhaust (pyper metal core cat, magnaflow muffler) (~$450)
Biggest IC I could fit (like $150ish on ebay)
Xede ($1,200)
550cc Injectors ($350)
Clutch (don't know what's out there for NC, guessing around $450)
IC Piping ($250 including couplers and t-bolts from siliconintakes)
Reasonable used BOV ($150)
So, minus my time that adds up to ~$4,500... of course a used turbo and injectors would get that below your $4K goal.
*edit* xede for NC is only $900

Down time is not a big deal, it's not a dd. I have to do some repairs to the beyatch anyway for a couple weeks. So while the front clip is off...

Get an exhaust gasket and send it off to some company that makes flanges. They'll send you a flange to start building a manifold. Weir Technologies offers said services, but I would NOT recommend them if timely has ANYTHING to do with with your build. So find someone besides them and get a flange made. If you can't fab a manifold buy the flanges and stock and take it to a fabricator and cut him a check.

What other options, do you guys recommend for a turbo? Making power early is more preferable to me over max top end, If that makes any sense.

the GT2560 is the universally accepted turbo here for good everything without sacrificing anything. There ya go. If you don't "conform" to use it, then you should maybe mention some of the goals of the setup, and which are more important than others. Seeing how you can't have everything, the GT2560 seems to be the compromise of options most here accept. That said, I'm getting a GT32.

9k?! Thats a helluva deal! You can purchase red film covers for the tail lights if you wanted.
