turbo conversion help

[Vincent D'Amore]

i am planning on doing a turbo conversion on my 1988 80q, however i have no experience with turbo conversions. i am fairly handy with cars but hav never done any major custom work so i have several questions that i hope can be answered by more experienced list members.

1.how much money and time should i have available before i start? (i would like to do a fairly simple and relitivly inexpencive conversion, but i still desire great preformance)

2.what is the best engine to use, and how should i modify it before mounting it in the car? (also what can i do to modify it after mounting it)

3.what parts and equipment do i need before starting? 

4.are there an mechanics in the ny tri-state area that can do this for me and/or service it afterwords?
