Turbocharger/Supercharger cost

How much will a working turbocharger cost me for a 1985 305 V8 5.0 L Camaro? If I pull one from the junkyard how much would that be? And if I do pull one from a junkyard any recommendations on what kind of a car i should pull a turbocharger off that will fit mine?

Same questions for a supercharger:
1) How much would a working one cost me?
2) How much would the junkyard charge?
3) What car should I pull a supercharger off of that will fit mine?

Figure $3000 to 5000 to build a decent JY turbo system for an F-Body. The turbocharger itself is going to be the cheapest part of the project (I paid $300 for my pair of Volvo turbos, and $150 for t3 rebuild kits).

Is there a certain type of turbocharger that I have to buy to fit a 1985 305 V8 5.0 L camaro? People have told me I may have to get a custom one done.

Also what is necessary to build a twin turbo kit? I don't kno much about turbo. Do I need more than one turbocharger for twin turbo? And can my 305 V8 5.0 L hold twin turbo? If not would it be best off to get a Vette or F-Body LT1 engine and turbocharge that?

The answer to those questions would require typing a book... Do yourself a favor, set aside a day or two and read, read, read, here. All your questions will be answered http://www.turbomustangs.com/forums/
