wtf some big prices being pinged around here for 400hp on a newage, point of reference i got my 2.5 short block pinned and forged by alyn / drew for around the 2k region. Mind the twin plate clutch cost alot more 
But in general at say 350-380 you should be borderline on standard stuff
Blob Sti are stronger on the 2.0 engine and wont even need that level of detail

As above 4/5/6k for 400bhp is just crazy.
I'd say shop around, buy second hand parts and you should be able to do it for LESS than £2k, especially if you don't get a front mount and even with one I think it's possible to do it for £2k, only things I'd buy new are fuel pump and 3 port boost solenoid.

IMHO they are laggy at 400hp unless someone has found a miracle turbo.
You will need plenty of revs dialled in before it takes off, so on long legged UK cars you will need to be 80+ before it will pull convincingly in 6th. If its a road car, bear that in mind as you will be stirring the box on the motorway or leaving in 5th.

Sc38 or sc 42 will get you around 400. Have a look on the scooby clinic billet turbo thread. There are lots of graphs posted on there of different turbos and setups.

Depends where the car will live, for me a town car wants fast spool and you won't get that from any big turbo that's capable of 400bhp, you will get the kick in the back, but it will be at licence loosing speeds, and something like my WRX PPP will leave you stranded wondering WTF around town and that's only got a measley 260 bhp ish, but the little TD04 turbo is great at the traffic light derby and twisty back roads, just lacks the top end punch, which doesn't bother me as it's essentially a town car and I don't go mental on the road and cruise at 80/85 on motorways, it's not always about the numbers.
On the other hand put it on a road with lots of long straights or a track and it will get mullered at 100mph and anything with more than about 300bhp, but that's not what it's for.
If what your looking for is the best of both worlds you want something like an SC36 or if you can find a decent one VF34, the numbers aren't quite what your after but they do go like the clappers, my STI Type r went really well with a VF 34 and was more than enough for the road.
It's horses for courses, I concentrate on handling, stopping and drivability but that's just me, at the end of the day you want the right tool for the job, and that depends on what floats your boat, for me it's nice tight lines, smooth fast progress and a bit of **** out when the mood takes me, I don't need loads of power for that.

We'd all agree that the VF37 twinscroll JDM's are king when it comes to spool and mid-range grunt.
Here is the LM400 Billet I tested some time back against a previous run with the VF37:
In-Gear acceleration runs to support the above:
LM400 Billet
40 - 60mph = 2.3s
50 - 70mph = 2.0s
60 - 80mph = 2.1s
70 - 90mph = 2.4s
80 -100mph = 2.8s
VF
40 - 60mph = 2.6s
50 - 70mph = 2.5s
60 - 80mph = 2.6s
70 - 90mph = 2.9s
80 -100mph = 3.6s
Things in the world of turbo specs have changed dramatically over the past 3yrs. With the right spec you really can have your cake and eat it!

I would mild tune to about 340 ish and spend on suspension, brakes and maybe weight saving
Then book a few track days and explore the limits of the car and your own ability
400 bhp in a floaty boat is sh#t scary round bends !
300 bhp with the right set up = a very fast road car
It's not all about drag racing and chasing numbers IMO
