Deep pockets and a supercharger would be a good start - Jamsport sell a Rotrex kit.
you'll be able to run low boost on the standard engine fine (maybe 250bhp or so)

£4k plus VAT is the starting price on the Jamsport Rotrex kit...they are REALLY good on supercharged stuff

I expect brakes would be needed and inform your insurance company.

The price will rise when you start doing things like exhaust etc.

i'm not sure on the contents of the kit..... assuming that it includes mapping and injectors, you wont need anything else

nope - not unless you're after daft power figures. It would probably be cheaper for you to stick a td04 turbo kit on it.
again, this can be mapped using the standard ecu.

I've a number of friends who run turbo ST150's. One of them is selling a complete setup at the moment (turbo, manifold, exhaust, intercooler, clocks, ecu, etc.)

Buying that kit via Rowe would be the way to do it
