Seriously, a budget rebuild is going to cost you somewhere around $400.00 if you do all the work yourself and get a decent rotor and a decent rotor housing off eBay. You can put inserts in the 6 PI sleeves, smooth the ports up, clean the lower and upper intake manifold up (as high as you can reach) and get 170-180 WHp out of that engine (I don't know if the stock ECU can make that, but I have heard of a 176 WHP S4 NA with nothing but exhaust and a FPR).

I would rebuild what you have. Turbo engines and drivetrain cost a lot (I think I have almost $2000 in mine if I include the clutch, transmission, engine, differential, axles shafts, driveshaft and turbo).
