First make sure your engine is in good condition. If it's fine I would go with:-

Beige injectors
195 chip
T3 turbo conversion
Decent exhaust
Decent intercooler

This should see you to abou this level.

Be warned that the standard brakes must be upgraded as they can barely cope with the standard power. Also the clutch will start to slip sooner rather than later.

Beige's £55 each
Chip £200
T3 £500
Exhaust £350 (will need modding to mate with T3)
Intercooler £300
*all prices approx and could be cheaper second hand

If you buy the bits new and do the fitting yourself. You should also budget on a £100 or so for a tuner to set it all up for you
