Default Turbo Piping

I'm looking into buying a used turbo and getting it rebuilt, and I was wondering who does piping around here and an estimate of how much it would cost. And yes, this would be EVERYTHING, only thing(s) I will have is the actual turbo / intercooler. I can send pics. if that will help in an estimate.

I like the idea of the tech site I was given in another post, the guy used the headers, flipped them upside down and fab'd it from there, I woudn't mind something like that :P

I wouldn't go cheap on it. I'd just get a manifold or have one fabricated. Cheap boost usually isn't the way to go.
