SC or TC Build?

I know there are a bunch of threads on this but none have really answered my question.
I have ~$1500 to work with. Is there any way I could piece together a tc build for this price (about)? Not looking for big numbers right off the bat. Just wanting a basic build and go from there later on.

Unless you want to rebuild internals too I would suggest just doing a supercharger and being done with it.

You might be able to do the sc build with 1500... Best to save the money to get a turbo, more gains

Could prob piece together a turbo kit for 1500, + cost of getting a downpipe made lol. I agree with just letting it chill in the bank till you have enough to do it right.

You would have to do a lot of searching in the classifieds to find all the pieces for a good turbo or sc kit for 1500. Whichever route you decide, best to save up enough money to buy the best quality parts you can find.

Not gonna put together a turbo setup for $1500 unless you can fab and grab someones SS/TC parts for the low

$1500-$2000 is a good price point for an m62 swap though
