first you need to figure out how much you can/want to spend on this project. there is A LOT more to it then sticking a big turbo on a car and calling it a day. a good tune is INCREDIBLY important. do some looking around before you get too far into this.

with that budget youll be lucky to get it running. focus on your tune BEFORE anything. you dont need an intercooler yet. DO NOT use iridum plugs. they are gay and expensive.  
mainly you will need before ANYTHING is  
-TUNE  
-Clutch  
-injectors  
-fuel pump  
-exhaust

worry about the rest as you go along.

megasquirt on ka sucks, not sucks but will take you ages to set up unless you used magasquirt in the past.  
aem is way overprised for fetures you may never use on your car.  
greddy is a piggy back and will not give you the control you want over timing maps.

Ka love factory ecu’s, get nistune and call it a day. Load in some existing tunes correct inj/maf combo and save $500 for dyno time at least.
