^ I know I have been going through the trial and error of trying to get them working with my AEM. Had to adjust voltages because the AEM doesn't have anything like them in the drop down box.

You will need to buy a good used complete kit and do most of the work yourself, you will need money for tuning, clutch, and gauges. It can be done just cross your fingers it all works out with out a problem.
Clutch $750
Gauges $250
Used Kit $3000
Tune $500
EMU $500-1250
Labor and other BS $1000+
I think you can sqweek it out with all the used stuff on the boards these days, you may go over budget a bit.
Good Luck

I went the ILP route and ended up at 12k somewhere, including tuning and everything. Additional stuff were aem ems, clutch, electronic boost control valve, one gauge to monitor boost + alot of other stuff I've forgot about.
BUT then I had to pay alot for shipping across the atlantic, shithead customs robbing me for value added tax and a flat tire during the first dyno run. So I had 2 dynos.
I bet I would have gotten away for 8-9k in the states.
The only possible reason to go for 1000cc injectors without a HG is if you are 1. running E85, 2. crazy like some on these boards are
No names mentioned haha.
As everyone said to me before i went turbo, its going to be more than you expect. They were right ofcourse.
I did all the install myself.
What I learned: Go for reliable solutions that are proven and recommended by others at once.

clutch = 700
install if you cant do it yourself 500ish
oem replacement map sensor that reads higher 150ish? you bought a fullrace, your gonna run more then 10psi
wideband that wires into eman ult 200ish?
i would personnally do an aem ems 1052u, but they go for around 1200 with wideband.
unfortuneatly, the only boost option that is considered inexpensive would be a used vortech setup with aftercooler, i think for 6k max, you could do aem ems, clutch, and the kit. full race and budget are not in the same book. its gonna be near 10k.
good luck though!
