HKS GT28 Ball bearing turbo running 18 psi if your doing internals. 21 psi on track days. You gonna need to beef up your drivetrain too. Can I borrow some of your loot?

Build the motor, get some good fuel management, and peice together a turbo kit. You could swap a b-series motor in and do the same thing.
