Have just posted here have a look very similar thread http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=391578
2k budget is a bit small IMHO.

I'm not saying it's the only way, it's just the way i've done it,
Fitting an apexi power fc, uprated fuel pump, good fpr or injector would see a good gain, and would come in at less than 2k.

Downgraded the power target then? 
I think 340 is realistic with headers, full decat, good filter, possibly a bigger TMIC and a TEK3 remap.
350 plus gets a bit more tricky... you would have to look to upgrading the VF29 and so on....

There is now a 'proven' formula?
Sti 2000 post 96 engine plus:
TD 05 FE 18/20g
Full decat 3''
Walbro 225 + 550cc injectors
FPR upgrade
Tube headers/up pipe/wraped
Apexi FC/Andy F map
3 port Boost solenoid
FMIC/or Sti8 TMIC
Cost = £3K
You will not do that for £2000, but i think you can expect 350 bhp/320 lbft torque.
Just right for a 2.5 litre upgrade to get the magic '400 x 400' motor.(another £2K)
Plus the other mod you need of course, a good transmission....£2k
Therefore, a 350 bhp plus car that's bullet proof will cost about £7K (DIY)
Incidentally, to get an early 911 to 350 costs about the same......
