Starting a DIY build - NA8 - cheap ass build

Hey,
I'm starting my ver2.0 turbo build, my current is a stock 1.8 NA 97 with TD04H-13C turbo (very small), I push it upto 15psi where it is out of efficiency but run very strong when the IAT is still normal around, 250whp.
Now I want a built engine and a setup that can put out around 350whp, I ordered some stuff and I was planning on a gt2560r, but I understand now that it will make past 300whp only in special cases of stroker engine and so...
Well, I got rods pistons and all the rest on the way, what turbo do I want... any chance no ending up with a 6000-7500rpm power band ?
On the way for now:
ebay rods+arp2000
arp head + main
complete engine kit, timing, water pump, oil pump, oversized 83.5mm stock pistons, all the engine gaskets- if the pistons will not fit I don't care - it is a great kit for it's price
injectors - currently RX7 460cc @ 92%, I need 800-1000cc I guess.
I got a custom tubular manifold.
FM stage 1 clutch NIB
EBC
DIYPNP - I tune it
6spd
NB LSD
I need the right turbo to get me to 350whp~
2560 @ 20psi will not put more then 300?
Thanks

Fuel pump is a must over 300, so I'll get one.
Rods:
Connecting Rod Rods for Mazda MX5 MX-5 Miata B6 BP 1.6 1.8 Conrods ARP Bolts msr | eBay
Got them for 255$+the ARP2000.
2871 ? ok I'll check its map.
I see that the 6258 looks perfect - it is ?

that turbo does seem perfect but I didn't mention it because of the price. Lol
to run e85 yes you'll need bigger than 460cc and a fuel pump.

If you truly want 350whp reliability, you need forged pistons. You are already going to have to overbore for the larger stock pistons, might as well go a little bigger with the forged and not worry about them in the future.
