I updated the original post with the cost of all the parts and installation. Keep in mind that I have installed everything except the turbo myself. If you are looking to go FI, factor in additional costs where needed. Having bought all top notch components, and spending nearly 6 months getting the car ready for FI I think the axiom "Quick, Reliable, or Cheap, pick 2" is more appropriately, "pick 1".

Updated first page with pics. Thanks to MazdaManiac... the turbo and components look top notch. The injectors are packaged with everything and it looks ready to rock. I want some BOOST!

They also seem comfortable with the 8, despite being a mostly 7 shop. The truth is, if I had a garage I might consider just doing the install myself, but renting one and trying to rush through the install isn't my idea of fun. I would be more likely to rush and cut corners with that hanging over me, and although I'm reasonably confident I could do the install at this point, I don't want to ever do a turbo install on jackstands in front of my house, especially with MD's retarded weather.

Got room out there in Arizona for more in the BHR crew MM? I'll move out there if I can find a job, I'm tired of ten straight days of rain followed by 85 degree temps and 70% humidity.
