Proposed Mods... Looking for input

ok heres the deal, im going to japan for a year to teach english. when i get back i will actually have money to spend on my car and wont have to do ghetto mods all the time. so i've put together a fairly complete list of what i want to get and stuff, and i'm looking for input/changes/additions etc... here it is


POWER
engine - $1777 + 500ish - rebuilt + porting and stuff - RX-7 specialties
cat-back - $950 - Apexi GT spec - NW imports
turbo upgrade - $1100 - BNR Stage 3
Wastegate - $475 - Tial 35mm BNR
FMIC - $465 - Spearco Core only - Thunder Fabrications

HANDLING

struts - $1550 - AGX Adjustable Struts/Shocks Set
camber plate - K2RD Front Camber Plate and 2.5"ID Spring Coil-Over Kit
spring - K2RD Rear 2.5"ID Spring Coil-Over Kit
- K2RD Adjustable Rear Camber Link
anti-sway bars f/r - $290 - rb - racing beat/mazdatrix
strut tower/engine br - $330 - mazdatrix - mazdatrix

FUEL
fuel pump - $195 - walbro 255 - K2RD/RX-7 Store
Fuel controller - $505 - Apexi S-AFC - NW imports/RX-7 Store/teamfc3s
fuel injectors - $325 - ND 720cc - NW imports
ecu - $525 - mdrace/el prototypes

GAUGES

egt - $250 - Greddy EGT - teamfc3s store


OTHER

pop-off valve - $165 - Greddy - RP
blow-off valve - $195 - Turbo XS - RP
clutch/flywheel - $1110 - act + 9.5lb alum - RX-7 Store
CS front nose - $650 - corksport
CD t2 rear skirts - $310 - corksport
tires
motor/trans mounts - $?? - Mazdacomp
trans rebuild - $500ish

do these mods look like they would work well together? also the prices are a rough conversion into CDN... with a setup like this how much boost should i run and how much HP to expect from that? would 720cc injectors be enough? give me lots of input. i've got a year to plan this out, and i'll be doing most of the mods at the same time.

use US dollars LOL.. you're even confusing me.

ditch the catback. rip off. you need a full exhuast anyways. go custom or RB

I don't think BNR does S4 turbos anymore.. so you don't need the WG. that one is too small anyways. geta S5 turbo / manifold and upgrade that.

don't need a pop off valve
