...i figured now that i have a crank, all i need is new bearings and a gasket set, i thought this would be the best way to keep costs down. its not a very powerful motor and the turbo wasn't performing well when i damaged the crank. am i clutching at straws attempting this rebuild and just give up on it now?
what do i need to buy to actually do this?
if parts alone is going to be in excess of 500 bucks then i dunno if this is possible for me at all.

The gasket set is around $350. Bearings will set you back about $150. You're making a wild assumption that the crank is perfect - even if it is within tolerances you'll still have to linish it add another $50. You're over budget already and you haven't included hot tanking, honing, reringing (if wear/tolerances allow).
