You could probably piece that together for roughly $1500-$1700 if you're patient and hit between 220-240 hp. I know you said you don't want to crack the engine open, but I'd recommend ARP head studs and a decent headgasket. That will be a reliable setup and you can continue to enjoy the car without constantly replacing parts.
I agree with what RustyS14 said that your power goals are not ideal with the setup you've got.

I agree with this 100%, from my experience there really isn't a plug and play turbo kit for KA-T so piecing everything together would be wise. The set up above is simple and oem+ like OP mentioned he was going for. Also piece of advice most of these "kits" that say they will fit will always need some modification
