how long is a piece of string dude?
if you are talking about a stock standard 18RG turbo then
1- good luck finding one at the wreckers, you'd be better off posting on this site and hoping someone has one lying around and then freight it home only to find that...
2- it'll need a rebuild if it's a stocker, i sure as hell wouldn't trust an almost 20yo engine in a new project in which case...
3- why not rebuild your atmo 18RG to turbo specs (i don't *think* the blocks are different...can anyone help me there?), but then you'd have spent so much money why not
4- convert to a newer engine that you don't have to rebuild, like a 4AG. you'd prob get better driveability and dare i say power out of an unopened 4AGZE with a GT2530 and about 12psi of boost, or you could go the 3SGTE route with a w-series 5spd if you have a bit more cash.
workshops all charge differently, but i'd have to ask what car it was going into (if it's a KE10 corolla then forget it!!).
if it's a celica or corona then i'd say expect a minimum of $8k all up, that with you fitting the engine and someone else dynotuning it with a aftermarket comp.
anything else and the sky is the limit.
good luck dude and post some pics if you get it off the ground.
