    If U can source a decent manifold you can pretty much build a decent turbo kit around that if you have access or skillz to make a down pipe and other hot/cold side piping

    stock+turbo=boom. Just sayin. The ECU, AFM, and injectors can't do a whole lot more than stock. You could do it, but for any appreciable power gains will need a lot more than just the turbo.

    As the saying goes: speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

    How readily available are/were the 22rte motors? Are they worth the trouble as far as swaps?

    Agree a 22r or e can be turbo charged just can't go boost crazy there's plenty of running examples of dependable low boost motors

    it's totally possible, but this thread might give you some insights: 22RE vs 22RTE...differences - YotaTech Forums

    And what you'd put into a turbo setup could be put into the engine itself from the get go and get you returns across a larger section of the powerband, much greater reliability, and/or less hair-tearing-out.

    Just adding an engnbldr head and cam (about $600 for the combo, roughly), puts your engine at roughly the power range that the stock 22ret had.

    How much are you planning to spend on "a good stock one" for the engine?

    If u want to keep it a toyota and 4 cyl...I recommend a 2rz boosted. A stock block on 15 psi can give u 300hp +. :D

    standalone, turbo setup, injectors to run safely and smooth.

    and build your bottom end if you want to run it hard, forever.

    Definitely a good bottom end speaking from experience if your not a peddle junkie stock bottom end will hold up for atwo or three years but if your in love with the sound of your truck spooled up and rippin then build you a solid long block with quality internals

    I agree with above. Go with a good bottom end build from there. And by bottom end, think female gymnast, not Kardashian. Toned, tight and muscular over heavy, lumpy and dumpy. The extra investment now will pay off in the long run.
