Okay, well you said you had a GS-R when you started the thread. Anyway the suspension is the same. Like I said, all cars have adjustment built into them, so get the car aligned. If they can't pull out the camber, you need taller springs. Sell the old ones to some other sucker who doesn't know any better. Any idea how low they are?

Yeah, try an alignment first. A wishbone suspension car should have enough play to get the camber back where it should be. Then when you can get some coilovers, you can get it all done right.

Turbo, exhaust manifold, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump, turbo piping, boost controller, BOV, and a good tune are the most important items. Other things that will help will be a 2.5" exhaust, intake manifold, new head gasket and an lsd. You might even be able to squeeze out 9 psi or even 10 if your tuner is really good. The turbo you can outsource from a junkyard. Just try to find a 1.8-2.4 liter engine with a turbo on it, preferrably with low miles and is in good working condition. The most important thing is to make sure you have enough fuel to supply your turbo or you'll go up in smoke. 9 psi is pretty safe on the stock internals, 10 psi is on the limit. Any more and your motor is toast. Just remember, you're also going to have to suck up the cost of premium fuel and make sure your insurance company is cool with you going that insane with your car. Many insurance companies won't touch modified cars or cars that ever see the track.

Your lights probably have a bad connection somewhere. Or a loose/dying fuse. Swap the fuse first and if that doesn't help, then you will have to do a little under-dash digging.
If you read my answer to your turbo question I said you can do 9 psi on STOCK internals. Anything more than 9 or 10 and you will need new internals. As for injectors, I would say buy the biggest you can afford. If you have extra headroom, you can up the boost and save some money on injectors. I will have to do some digging around, but there is a formula on how to size injectors to your engine.

With boost on stock internals I would go no more than 7-8PSI.
