Most defnitely DPFI to MPFI conversion. Go for a mini-me if you have the ends to do so. Make your own intake tube and save some $ to buy an actual aftermarket one when you have the chance.

if its got MPFI you can just get a mini me head (z6 head) thats pretty cheap, then save up and go ghetto/junkyard T25 turbo

You can probably do those both under 1k $ if you shop around a lot
