I am skeptical about the costs to install a turbo.
The costs really depends on your skill and fab abilities.
It's the things not mentioned, like pulling the motor apart to gap the rings.
Head gaskets and new bolts are required plus the while I am here stuff.
And installing a oil breather that seems to be left out of the equation.

I did not sayi he needs a cam. I am saying Paul Y is saying $1000, yet he goes on to list $4000 worth of parts he is adding. The cheapest package on there is $868. That does not include the manifolds/headers, tuning, exhaust system, fuel pump upgrade, injectors, and any other items you may need. You are not going to spend $1000 and have everything you need to make it drivable.
