how much should i have payed? No idea. You will find out soon enough
how deep have i got myself? Deep. But no so deep that the shit gets in your mouth :lol:
what else do i need?Also need: Webber carby to suit turbo application, fuel pump, intercooler and plumbing, re-graph the dizzy, exhaust and intake mods, and a VERY good tuner who knows what they are doing with carby turbo systems ( and they are VERY thin on the ground)
what sort of gain can i expect? without knowing the condition of your motor, I can say with confidence that you will destroy it if you run more than 7psi and don't do some internal work. This means you may see a gain of 20-30%, although I would suggest it will be on the lower side.

An Important thing to remeber is that 20% of nothing is still nothing. you may gain 15-20 KW at motor at best. Not worth it in my opinion.

The simplest way to fuel it is LPG, turbo's love gas. But Sierras dont, there is no room for the tanks unless its a weekend warrior with nothing to go in back.
