Question Induction, Torque Converters, Parts... HELP!! :-)

Ok, I have a few questions; firstly, my SC300 is mechanically stock, but my near-future plans are coldair intake, torque converter, and possibly the twin electric fan kit from Summit. My FUTURE-future desires are exhaust, turbo/twin turbo, and 5- or 6-speed tranny with new LSD.

Check out PlanetSoarer.com
scroll down to "Update Monday 1st July 2002"

- Stall converter $355
- fitting labour, front & rear seals: $250
- service: $75
- transmission cooler: $188
- All up drive in drive out price $868
- Optional stand alone shift kit costs $385 - trans doesn't need removed - includes servicing cost, cheaper if you get it done all at the same time.

This is what I want to do, but these are all Australian prices... ick. Does this sound reasonable for the U.S.?? If so, PLEASE TELL ME WHERE. Also, where do you guys with turbos get your parts? Have any of you looked into getting salvaged parts, and if so from where?
