Thats a big question actually. I am just hammering through all that in my post (I just bought a 88 and am refining/tuning/fixing it) You can see my questions/links/answers here:

Not sure if someone has a one-cost - final hp solution sitting, but I have found a ton of info just by searching boost within the forums.
So far, I think the cheapest first step is the air intake system.
I would also recommend a boost timer if you dont have one simply to help perserve your turbo for those times that you drive and dont want to babysit the car for a couple minutes after running the turbo to allow it to cool.
Then, from what I have read so far, a person would do the exhaust system. I wont mention much here other than you want to go 3".. as I am still researching that. That seems to be a huge upgrade and not as expensive as I thought so far.
And.. if you actually upgrade things to improve the boost, look at improving your intercooler as from what I can see.. the better you can cool it, the healthier you can be.
Than there is boost control, waste gates, downpipes, all kinds of fun stuff I am researching.
I have no idea what the final cost would be as have yet to get a really good understanding on each upgrade and why you would do it.. but I'm getting there.
