I'm not positive but I have heard bad things about the melling oil pump, so you might want to research that a bit.

With a boosted 1st gen with bottom end built up, you should be in the neighborhood of a stock SRT-4 if not better. Your handling on the 1st gen is already better, so there you go! The mitsubishi turbo's have proven reliable and that's what Hahn uses on their kit, but the SRT-4 turbo is holding it's own. Personally I'd go with the SRT-4 turbo just to keep it in the family, like the Wayans brothers.

I don't THINK you need a high perfromance one with the turbo, just a good running one and watch the oil pressure. Modern sells one, but I don't know what brand it is or if it's their own. They do make quality parts though.

The Mopar advances timing and thats bad with a turbo. Stick with the stock, thats why you have to use a MAP clamp or missing link.

It's possible to run both an aftermarket PCM, but you must find an ignition (piggyback spark controller) which can retard spark up to 25+ degrees, so I don't think it's worth it. An S-AFC can be used to tune the idle a little bit, but in no way should be used to increase fuel up high in the RPM band. The S-AFC adds/removes fuel in correlation with RPM, not boost.
