Default Parts required to convert onion to turbo?

Well, there is a slight possibillity that I may be gettin an orion for £150, so my thoughts quite quickly turned into what parts I would need to convert it to a turbo?!!

I would wanna do this as cheap as chips, no expensive forged pistions / rods etc... forget it! lol

Anyway, here's what I can think of that I would need.

ECU (Any type?)
Loom
Turbo
Turbo manifold
I/C
Hoses of some sort
Decompression plate

Well, I have these parts "lying around" ...
T28 Turbo (Off EsCos)
Pace I/C (Off S2 ERST)
Megasquirt ECU
ERST Loom

What else do I need ?, Does anyone know what amount of boost I can run on standard pistions ? 10 psi ?

What power do you think I would get? 150-160 bhp ?

Thanks in advance guys!
