old motor + turbo ='s
He means that you find the best prices on all of the individual parts. Turbo, BOV, turbo timer if needed (my autostarter/alarm can provide this function), oil cooler, oil lines, maybe a baffled or cooled oil pan, intercooler, air plumbing, AF controls, turbo controls, etc.
vs. a kit with everything ..... if you go the kit route, sometimes the intercooler and piping is included and sometimes not, sometimes they include E-Manage for the ECU, etc. There are all sorts of accessories and you need to be familiar with what is available to be sure that you get what you want.
IMO, piecing the system together is better because you pay less, get exactly what you want down to the manufacturers and you learn about the parts, their functions, better and worse designs, design flaws, etc.

I don't think that the 1500 number is possible with an intercoooler kit. Also, the piping is usually custom made.
It seems that $2800-3000 is a good number for a pieced kit with all of the goodies that you'd want.
