What u think?
Bug-eye... But I'm partial
Looking at your mod list and the amount of money you're talking about, I'd say keep your 2.0 and transmission as it is. Get some power mods (turbo back, large top-mount, up-pipe, header, turbo, injectors, fuel pump, Engine Managment--should be around 1500 if you shop around and use ebay) and try to find STi 6 speed or version 5-6 sti 5 speed gears plus a better clutch.
Go slow or all at once on the power mods; be ready for the transmission to go, hence to be ready for the replacement.

I think that's ^^^ what you wanted to hear.
I'd personally find the best paying CD around and earn some more money for the car
