Personally, I would start with a good platform and build upon it. When it's all said and done with your hypothetical mod list and the costs associated, the M3 is just a smarter buy, IMO.
He should have enough left over from the ITR sale to do most if not all of it, I don't know what this car cost though.

You can boost it your self for well under $5k, especially if you get a cast or cheaper header vs. one from 666 Fabrication that will run $1,200-1,400. ODB1 conversion and the stock DME/ECU can be tuned for multiple boost settings...or go standalone. Not a difficult process, just $$$.
