You need to answer the above questions if you want any useful responses.
If you are not sure about the answers, read this page (your car is a "Kouki"):
http://fc3spro.com/TECH/FM2W/power.htm
And read the items under the "Turbo" heading here:

Don't worry about not being an expert.

Also, just for clarification, the website I posted is just an opinion of the author. You do not necessarily need to follow that list, although following it does help keep you from making a critical mistake if you are not an experienced mechanic. The stages are also an opinion of the author as opposed to an established standard for our cars, so you will need to reference that specific website if you mention the stages in your internet posts.

get a hks divided t4 cast mani off of the forum ~125-150
get a journal bearing gt35, t04s or some sort of BW turbo (they are pretty cheap) new ~900
wastegate used ~ 150
make the oil/coolant lines yourself ~ 200
dp and wastegate dump pipe ~ 200
ems ~ 1k
tuning ~ 800-1k
injectors ~ 200
fmic ~ 350
plugs ~ 50
you can be a bit cheaper if you buy a used turbo. All the other stuff is pretty standard.
feel free to add to this list, i just whipped this off the top of my head

(BNR has their own product stages, not to be confused with the fc3spro upgrade stages)
