Default Turbo upgrading, suggestions needed

well im looking to make around 240-320hp. I really want to keep it as stock as possible and have the reliablity and drivability that I have been enjoying so far. I am also very very short on money so if you know any knock off brands or places to get things for cheap, that is what im looking for.

I was thinking about the GT28rs elim. I really like the sound of the t3/t4 .48 for the hp im looking for but im going to need a mani for this.. I think my clutch is not in a very good condition so im a little worried.. you think it is possible to put together a whole kit under $2-3k? I already have an exhaust and a mbc.

probably cheapest way to go, with a new clutch and flywheel though, i doubt it can be done for that price, the turbo sells for $1400 ish and the bt file would be $900. not to mention purchasing a stage 3 clutch $450, fmic, and bigger injectors as well. there are also many small things you'll probably need to buy as well.

if you do ALL the work yourself, you could probably pull off paying $3 g's for it all, but labor is gonna be a lot if you can't do it.
