Your question is too broad. Narrow down your budget, built specs, and power goals and it would be a little easier to recommend one.

I would, especially since there are no smog regulations whatsoever, but the funds are holding me back.

don't forget to tune your engine again.. the air in grand junction is probably cooler in the winter and might suggest a re-tune

my buddies sti FMIC is basically touch warm if that on the output side in the winter months, and this is with a massive turbo pushing 300 horse with the wastegate stuck open. you might start getting problems with a lean tune once winter hits

:edit:

on a 30 degree night last winter i touched the FMIC on the outlet side after he was driving for about an hour, it wasn't even warm and he still had the engine running

I am going to need to retune anyway. Since the elevation is different (4500 ft compared to sea level), air is thinner, so the turbo spools later, it pulls less vacuum, and the car runs richer than it did back in California.

Once I get all my stuff on this side, I will retune it and see if I can get some power back.

$2k isn't enough for a reliable turbo setup on a daily driver.
