Also, it's not a great idea to do this to a car you still make payments on. If something happens, it would really suck to be making payments and turbo kit payments while the car sits broken.
You are pretty much spot on. But that is for base z with a BP kit bought second hand, brakes, diff, gauges, labor, diff mounts, diff cooler, short shifter, wheels, tires, clutch, flywheel, RJM master cylinder/pedal, other crap I can't remember at this point, etc.

If I did my build with FI......... I think it would be closer to 30k starting with a base z.
