Now you're talkin'!!!
A turbo setup can be a bitch to fabricate; a good kit is worth paying a little more to get something that bolts right in and fits. My powerhouse411 setup is such a good-fitting kit, and I only had to mess with outgoing exhaust.
Be careful of the boost levels you're thinking about, too. With a good turbo setup, you won't run more than probably 15 psi anyway, as the block wouldn't take the power. Comparatively, I'm running around 10-11 psi on my v6 and pushing 400 at the wheels.
(comparatively, I've been 'installing' a twin turbo kit on my v8 beast, and had to do a lot of modifications and fabrication to get it to fit properly; way too much time not enjoying the car.)
Valve springs: nissan 909's. I bought mine from summit or jegs.
39# injectors will be plenty good.
Sounds like a great build!
