How about we include ALL of the parts for a real cost tally:
Turbo: $1100-1500 (6262 to an hta, and you better get BB if you want real reliability)
Manifold: $600-1000
O2 housing/Downpipe: $400-700
Wastegate: $400 (? no idea)
Oil and coolant lines: $200-250 (?)
Modify intake: $50-200

The cheapest kit on the market IIRC is around $3000 for a non-hta 35R and cast manifold (buschur's and I hear MAP can get it too), up to $4500-ish for an AMS setup.

A 6262 vs hta3586 is kinda a toss-up to me, I have lusted over hta35R's forever but the 6262 is damn good bang for your buck. Personally I would get FP on the phone, setup something to do a super quick turnaround, and just get the black rebuilt. I'm sure it'll cost around $500 but if they can do it in just a few days + overnight shipping on either end you'll keep downtime to a minimum.

I'll bet Primo can get you taken care of for the EWG/o2 housing setup for a good price.
