I see what you're saying duffman, but the prices aren't that bad.
Turbo and manifold are about $1200
IC is only like $350, and piping for everything is $70 if you can weld. That includes the downpipe.
The oil line was $30 for me from NAPA, and pistons and bearings will be $500 for forged pistons and stock bearings (which are great!).
But you're forgetting the wastegate you'll need, and BOV.
That's $2600 for all that stuff.
And $1000 for labor is nuts. A rebuild shouldn't take a shop more than 5 hours to slap some pistons and bearings in ($250). If you can modify everything to install the SR, you sure as hell can dissassemble the engine for the shop, have them hone and swap pistons, add bearings, and then you re-assemble it yourself.
