Default Turbo Newbie

I know a little about turbos but not that much so here gos. I was considering, the end of the summer, getting a rear mount turbo and run just about 7psi of boost. I know it will have to be tuned and what not. But: whats the price on these kits?: where can I find them?: do i need bigger fuel injectors, and fuel pump?: and do I need to worry about my rear end or not scence turbo cars don't launch as hard?:
Note: I don't race that much at all, the car has about 90,000miles on it and the cam is a 216/220.
Also any other expenses I may be looking at, besides more speeding tickets , would be nice to know.
Thanks

I am not an authority so I'm not gonna tell you all you need. Rear end can blow up on a stock LS1, you need more fuel for more power, turbo or stock cams work well with turbo. Not sure how valid these dyno numbers are. Turbos use the energy exiting the exhaust to generate their power, part of that is heat (which gets lost over 10 feet exhaust run). Also the system doesn't have an intercooler so running very much boost would probably require compression decrease.
