Opinion/advice on my potential build

Hey guys.
I'm wondering whether any of you are able to give me some advice/opinion on my potential build (power-wise). This is all going to be an ongoing project.

So far, I've got on my mind;

Holset hx35 spec II turbo
Single turbo manifold made by Sinco (NZ company - I'm in NZ).
DeatschWerks 320+lph Fuel Pump
I'm looking at the standard 850cc injectors for the front (from rear) and 1000cc hks rear injectors.
Fuel pressure regulator.
Link G4 RX engine management.

Anything else I'm missing?

What kind of power should I be looking at with a good tune with the above stated mods? I'm aiming for anything between (or higher than( 275-300kw).

Please feel free to post your opinion on what else I can go for instead of something.

To me... this is a dis-proportionate focus on the motor. Besides there are already dedicated sub forums for engine stuff.

In the race car tech sections, an engine just applies torque to the wheels, and sometimes causes reliability issues. Beyond that, who cares?

Less focus on engine, more on suspension/steering and making the car look cool. That's all that matters.

BTW, Deatschwerks makes awesome products, they're local to me and I back them up all the way.

Haha, I used to think like that. All about the looks. But really, I'm over having a car that just looks cool. I want to get into drifting and be good at it. Hence the expensive mods for a full time student!

I have however already gotten Buddyclub adjustables in the car (which I'm going to lower again), buddyclub bodykit, rear diffuser, mazdaspeed rear spoiler, Fibreglass. 17x8.5 maxx sport wheels in gunmetal grey (concave style) and about 20mm spacers all around to get some poke.
