I do like the steps you have outlined in what order to do it
The min thing is to make the motor breathe easier
Thats the thing most people don't do cos they just don't understand it
Do the small simple stuff first
Also if your going to go nuts and get the exhaust done, get the OEM catalytic converter and throw it over your shoulder and drop in a 200 cell unit
The OEM cat is a huge bottleneck
Can't remember if I already mentioned about the rear O2 sensor and the fix for it, it has has been mentioned on here before, it's the P0420 fix with a mini-cat
Before getting the biggest turbo money can buy, get the cams done
Beforr you do that , have a think about do you want the car to be a street blaster or a track monster.
If it's a street blaster your better off having the torque from low to mid rpm range and track monster from mid to high rpm.
Armed with that , then you can make the best decision for the cams.
With the Turbo cars by doing the basics there is at least an extra 30HP to be gained just by actually spending a bit of time on the car and it's not that expensive.
Remember you can do.all this in stages, nobody said you had to do all this in a weekend.
If your keen to learn there is a few author of books I can suggest, one is David Vizard, the other is Greg Banish, the other is Jeff Hartman.
All 3 have some excitement books related to exhaust, turbo , ECU , super charged, NOS, and everything else.
The extra 30HP doesn't sound like much, but it's the torque as well that you will gain and you will certainly notice it from the seat of your pants
Plus not only the extra Torque you gain plus the better fuel economy if you do it right
