There is no $2500 complete turbo kit exist. The burien turbo kit does really worth $2500 but it does come with a ultramini turbo so you wont overboost.. Why i made such a strong comment? Think about it, it doesnt has wastegate($300), computer($300-$1500), intercooler($300-$1000), fuel pump ($100, fuel system modification required, might also need a pressure pressure regulator $100-$300), boost gauge ($60-$250). Items i mentioned above are basic necessary, and guess what, here is more stuffs you need if you want your turbo and car have longer life!
turbo timer ($90-$150), EGT guage ($100-$300), boost controller ($90-$500, electronic one strongly suggested), dyno tunning ($300-$700, faulty set up will either refused to tune, or blow on the dyno machine), A/F ratio gauge ($60-$300), gauge pod ($20-$30), custom heat shield or guard ($50-?), or maybe you would like some polish/plating (??) to make it pretty or some ceremic coating to make it more efficiently ($200-??, depend how large is the object). Even more beautifully those price doesnt not including labors, to mod the fuel system might cost you most, then computer and EGT.
Be realistic, a complete custom turbo kit will cost you about 4G-6G, depend on what kind stuffs you are using, craftmanships and materials does matter too.
