if you DO get it you should make sure it is problem free before you go dumping money into parts that might not even be able to work.
Do a conpression test and check to make sure the motor IS in good condition. Make sure you see receipts and that the motor WAS replaced. I think he's asking a little too much for it though.
here is what I noticed:
Kaminari discontinued front bumper
bomex rear bumper
clean interior
good bodywork
NO ENGINE SHOTS!
I would not offer more than $4500-$5000.
45K miles on a babied motor is nothing
45K miles on a motor that has been beat up and rarely maintained is not good.
Unless you have x-ray vision you can't tell. DO A COMPRESSION CHECK AND DO A THOUGHROUGH INSPECTION. and if you ask us WHAT to look for then imma e-smack you across your face so hard your ancestors will feel it across time.

yes. I do recommend BNR turbos for their simplicity (when it comes to installing it and you don't need a special manifold or to change your current exhaust) DO a lot of research before you upgrade anything.

depends.
stage one is supposed to be good for 300hp
stage 2 is good for 350
stage 3&4 get you closer to 400hp
you really shouldn't worry about this right now.
Asking about it now is like a 4 year old asking whether he should upgrade his tricicle with a harley motor.
Go inspect the car. That's all you need to do. Once you decide you ARE going to get it then make sure you do a tune-up (if it's needed) and go dive it. Get used to it, get used to how it drives and how it feels. Once you KNOW what you're up against you can begin upgrading your car. You cannot upgrade the turbo without first working on the FUEL supply FIR the turbo. DO a lot of research and don't get a head of yourself. If you're not going to listen to anything else you should at least pay attention to this:
If you rush into a purchase without first ensuring it IS a good BUY then you're going to waste $$, time and patience. DO NOT RUSH INTO IT BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU'LL NEVER GET THIS OPPORTUNITY AGAIN.

trust me though. I'm talking from personal experience. I would have been able to buy an FD if I had not rushed into my FC purchase (bad motor and other issues when the guy said the motor was freshly rebuilt)
