I would search YouTube for Sloppy Mechanic.
Matt is the king of no nonsense low buck turbo knowledge and did a series called the dont bs me build where he gives a detailed step bus step of what you need to do to get 500rwhp.
You can buy the ‘kit’ from VS racing for around a $1000.
This is the route I am going on my build.
First step is to get it running and driving NA to iron out the bugs, plus learn how to use HP tuners, and then add the turbo.

I have gone with a set of turbo manifolds, there are lots to choose from but look up Will Barnes on FB as he does a nice set for around $250 - I got mine from eBay and they are not the best but will do.
Didn’t decap my injectors, went with the snake eater Bosch ones, you will hear a lot of bad comments about them but the group I belong too have had no problems at all so, pay your money and take your choice!
If you look up the sloppy mechanics tune cabinet there are lots of other peoples base tunes in there you can use, I am not at that stage yet but good to know there are lots of others out there with the same sort of combo.
As for a cam, not made a decision yet. The BTR Truck Norris cam looks good plus it can use the stock springs, or a Sloppy Best cam are the two I am considering. Might come down to availability and price when I get to that stage….
Anyway, it might not be for you but that is where I have got a lot of info from and the confidence to give it a try.
I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?
What ever route you decide to pursue enjoy!
