a search will net you results. but im bored so ill answer these questions.
What headgaskets are good to use for turbo set-ups??
stock gasket is fine, i use cometic, and havent had an issue, others use golden eagle.
What kind of pistons/rods to use?? Ani strocker kits??
no stroker kits many of the big dogs use a stock crank im using carrillo/cp
Would a gt30r be enuff??
should be but there are people better suited to answer that question.

1. OEM Headgasket
2. Eagle/CP or Wiseco....the only stroker i would ever advise is an LS crank...nothing more
3. The GT30r would be a decent turbo for your setup, but there are others out there. One to consider is the Borg Warner S256.
4. Ditch the block guard and run stock sleeves unsupported.
5. The GSR head with the modifications listed will be fine for your power goal.
6. For your goals, i would go with a set of 880cc injectors. 750s may be large enough, but i'd play it safe and go a hair larger
7. The stock GSR cams aren't bad, but a set of ITR cams or Blox B's would work nicely for your setup
