Have you considered a procharger? Your current setup is well suited for a procharger. Without needing to immediately needing to change exhaust or cam.
If you are dead set on turbo then the following would be a good idea.
1) kbracing or trick turbo kit
2) turbo cam such as isky triple 12 or speed inc tu1
3) built th400 if pure toy or jakes 80e if you plan to drive it a lot with good stall to match
4) fuel upgrades to match your goals Walbro 400/450 and 80lbs injectors
5) exhaust setup
6) gauges fuel pressure, wideband afr, boost gauge

ull need fuel, guages, and a kit... exhaust work. and more than likely a different tranny and rear end.... and head studs..
The real question is how much money do you want to spend

i contacted trick and rick told me a borg 76mm will be great on my truck .
2) turbo cam such as isky triple 12 or speed inc tu1
i will have to run my cam for now i am not planing on changing it at this time .
3) built th400 if pure toy or jakes 80e if you plan to drive it a lot with good stall to match
awesome .
4) fuel upgrades to match your goals Walbro 400/450 and 80lbs injectors
that's great will look into it .
5) exhaust setup
i already have corsa catback i may need a little work to make work .
6) gauges fuel pressure, wideband afr, boost gauge
i already have AEM WB gauge + fuel pressure i only need boost gauge .

You're turbo setup will take about $5000 when it's all said and done. I'd go 4l80e for od and ease of install. You'll blow your budget pretty quick getting crazy on the trans. You shouldn't need anything that crazy for your hp level.
76 mm will support over 800 so you're good there.
Hp tuners pro setup is $700. Which I recommend over the regular due to datalogging. I'd buy all your fuel stuff first so it's out of the way. You'll have a chunk of change into that before it's all said and done. Nothing like wanting to fire it up and you're missing fuel stuff.
