Default turbo 250 x-flow

Hey guys how are we today?
I am looking for some information in relation to turbo charging a 250 x-flow in an XE. I have no idea where to start as I have always owned big HP V8s. I am doing this on a fairly tight budget to so only want to know the bare minimum that needs to be done. Any information any1 can give me in relation to this would be greatly appreciated.

There are plenty around. Try and find as much infor as ya can about EZY10 and MR0250. They are XF's, that still use the X-flow setup and havn't done the EL/AU engine swap. There the two highest profile i can think of off the top of my head

you could get a basic Draw-through sydtem with turbo for $5-1000
I think there are a few kits floating around.
Don't expect big HP though.
Turbos and tight budgets don't mix, from my experience
