it wouldn't take 13k to build the bottom end. it takes that amount of cash to stroke the bottom end. you don't need the stroke and bore to get that kind of power it just makes it easier. you would need new pistons and rods, lot's of studs, some port work, and some properly sized properly large turbo's. you could probably get away with it on the stock block without sleeving it but sleeves would make the engine last a lot longer and if you went sleeved in the future you would need different pistons anyway. you could probably have a sleeved built block for 7-8k the parts would cost you 5-6 and then another 2-3 for labor. add another 10-11k for a proper turbo kit and some extras, and you would be looking at around 20k if you price hunted, looked for deals, and had some connections/knew how to put it together yourself.
