Jim says it exists...
But he lost an almost 300 page thread, so I’m not sure we can trust him.

What's your budget? Do you already have a list of other parts you need, or pile of parts already started?
This question gets asked all over the internet by people unaware or unprepared for the amount of work required to turbo something that didn't come with one.

If you do all the work yourself, have all the tools needed already and you just want to scab it together 1000 may do it... but if you want to do it right and end up with any sort of reliability 1000 isn't nearly enough unfortunately.
Most of the 2.3 guys use Holsets from older Cummins trucks. Hx35 I think? That might be a little small for a 3.0, but not terrible. Of course, then you have to fab up your piping, exhaust, and lubrication for the turbo. Other major parts that you'd need to buy would be an intercooler, larger injectors and a PCM tune.
$1000 budget would be tight even with junkyard parts and a bunch of skills and fab experience with this sort of thing. If you're using new parts, and/or paying to have the work done $1k isn't going to cut it.

I know Khan was a little strange, but I don't think he was a doctor.
