Well, personally my advice would be to sell your engine that you have while its still in good order. You could fit a smallish turbo to it, run a couple of PSI boost and probably get away with it for a little while if the tuning was good, but its gonna be short of its potential. If you like to rebuild the engine with beefier rods, better low-comp pistons, and anything else, well then theres nothing wrong with it, but why do that when you can buy a 4agze in reasonable order so much cheaper? If you just shove a turbo on your present engine, and leave it with a stock computer, injectors, etc., it's going to be a broken mess in a veeery short time.
I paid $650 for my 4agze, in perfectly good order. As a bonus it comes with larger (365cc) injectors, DFI coils, and a few other widgets. You should be able to sell your existing engine, along with computer and loom, for a reasonable amount, and have something to begin with.
Remember, doing something half-arsed the first time around costs twice as much when you've gotta do it the 2nd time around. If you want to know anything specific, I might be able to help you out too.
BTW, by your name/car/location, are you the guy that bought marks old car by any chance?
