rods/pistons, and maybe some ARP head studs and main studs if you want to do it right. If you want to push more than 12 PSI, a block guard would be a good idea. So would a good set of cams and valve springs so you can spin the motor nice and high, but you don't have to. Top it off with DSM injectors (or some good 550cc) injectors and a Apexi S-AFC and you're in business. You won't need 550's unless you plan to run some serious boost. DSM 450's would be fine for 8 PSI and most of the turbos that are efficient under 14 PSI or 500 cfm.

You'll have to hack your exhaust or replace it altogether, but it's worth it. Whether you go for internals or a turbo, plan to spend at least $2500 if you want to impress the ol' butt-dyno. You'll have to replace all the stuff I mentioned going either route, except maybe the injectors... but you'll still need fuel control with a built NA motor.

I guess your idea of inexpensive is different from mine.

Don't forget the cost of head gasket set and the labor for installing them. That's a lot of work. I didn't see any high compression pistons for an NA setup in there, and those are going to run you $400-$500.

If you could be happy with 8 PSI, and my bet is that you would be, you can price a turbo kit for stock internals and put something together for under what you have for your budget.

you should get the high comp. pistons only for the NA setup, not for boosting.
