Whats next?

Pretty soon(8 months)i'll be inherited my dads 87 Saab 9000 Turbo for a first car(can't wait,I love that car to death). It has about 175k miles on it and has a 2.5" catback exhaust,running some 18psi,K&N Filter and the redbox. Now naturally the first thing i'm going to do is buy a RRFPR and set it to 2.5BAR(still want my 26-28mpg around town) since it's already taxing the stock fuel system. But after that I'm wondering what should I do next? I'm thinking maybe 3" DP and a catco cat to replace the old one.
Either that or maybe a new turbo(have no clue how much the original one will hold). One last question,how much would it cost to rebuild a B202 and it's 5 speed transmission. I want to do this when the 2 start showing age(which should be quite awhile)and I want to rebuild them right. Is there anything I can do to the 9000's transmission to beef it up? Is there anything I can do to strenthen the B202?(Im doubting it since the bottom end IS forged,right?)Also what is a realistic goal to shoot for power without crazy amounts of boost or cutting life expectancy by a significant amount?
