Your best bet will be to contact a garage that specialises in that depart e.g.

These Guys

However if you plan on doing it yourself in your spare time still contact them and ask what your intrested in doing what parts you will need and how much they are etc.

for 1.5k
the best thing i can say to do is deside whether you want to stay N/A
if u do cams filter and pipe for a start then look at remaping
or turbo option with remap
