Help, turbo build idea Options

[6G96GT]

I need to know if this is worth it? I would like to turbo my 5s-fe. I had the head rebuilt this past March. I am having webcams installed in about 2 weeks and all I need to do is rebuild my engine block (doesn't need it at the moment at all but I do have 184K on it and don't think it's safe to turbo). Anyway, can I just rebuild the block with stock internals and keep the webcams in with a 'low boost' set up?? I know I will need an upgraded fuel and engine management system. I just don't want to have to lose the webcams or do anything else costly unless I have to.

About it right? Remember, low boost set up (hoping to get about 6-8 psi).

I'm thinking about the $5G mark (professional installed including parts (I have a really good hook up on parts costs).

The only reason I haven't considered a turbo swap is that I won't be able to insure my celica after the swap?? I've heard this many times. I need to keep my celica insured.

I do have very good compression (dry and wet) and I had a stock replacement hg put on. Would 6-8 pounds of boost blow that out?

I think I can keep the costs down because I can get new parts very cheap for example when I bought HKS cams (264, 272) for my talon I had, the set only cost me 560 bucks new. I bought JE inverted dome top forged piston set for 569 bucks. I got a big 16g turbo for it for only 450 bucks. A friend of mine lives in texas and is a seller of these parts and gets them at a low cost and gives them to me for what he paid. It's a good deal.
