All of these guys are offering good input, but what are you goals with the car?

Based on putting such a tiny turbo on it, I'd say you're definitely headed down the right path. In my opinion, i'd have the block machined .020" over to begin with, then do the forged pistons. its not worth spending the money for after 10-20K miles the cylinders are ovals because they have 180K on them and you threw boost at it.

The parts you picked out (maybe with the exception of that baby turbo and injectors) should make you a happy camper. A 2871R or a 3071 are great turbo choices, as I personally think a T28 is too small for a forged KA. Also, stock size ARP head studs are definitely fine for your assumable power goals.

Spend the money on getting a better form of tuning as opposed to a mail order tune.
