Default What to do for a turbo set up..

I have a b18a with about 70k miles. It has almost all the bolt ons (no manifold), but no internal upgrades. In a list, what would you guys put on in order? (as in the size if it has one, and brand) And my goal is 500hp so I want the parts to support that. Thanks in advance! And yes I have researched it, but I would like to see your guys' opinion on the parts and order to buy them.

Since you have researched, post your list of parts up and someone will critique it and let you know where you need to improve.

I would deff. get a B16 head, flows alot better up top with easier power to be made. The motor did not blow, I had the block sleeved and port flow head work done in April.
