Just those 3 things are gunna push you past your set dollar amount. Unless you buy used stuff.

Search the forums or see if Luke and those guys have anything for sale.

used injectors about $500 for some 150s that are clean aka not Jammers
Used turbo and $1200 for a 62mm
Head studs are about $450
Then use the rest for new gaskets and seal you might need for the installs

Put in a built tranny and you will have some money left over for labor or do the work yourself. Just keep your eyes out for good deals.
