Default Turbo setup question

I have been toying with the idea of putting a turbo on my 98 Z28, but I don't know much about forced induction. Is there a decent kit out there for between 3-4K$? If so could someone post any links as to where I can veiw them. Thank you.

the STS sounds like your only option, there not too much FI you can get for 3-4k. FI is more of an investment with no monetary return.

I would search the boards for a used TTi kit, they are usually pretty cheap and not too hard to find
thanks
