Post 1998 V70 Turbo build

Hello,
I just bought a 1998 v70 awd turbo. I'm looking to have some fun with it but need a little bit of guidance. I want to upgrade the turbo, intercooler, fuel system, (pump injectors regulator) ignition system, exhaust system, and converter. I would also like to lower it just a little bit and see if I cant get a little more handling preformance out of it. I'm not looking for a full on race car or anything like that, just a bad *** grocery getter that will turn a lot of heads. I really don't know alot about these motors and am trying to learn so any advice would be awesome.
Thanks a lot,
Marshall.

welcome abord you purchased the best year for the old 850 body style. Not sure if your's has the self leveling shocks called nivomats or not but if they do you are going to be limited to suspension bits. I am told they have a unique mounting setup and not much after market support for lowering. Someone chime in if I am wrong. I would start with a complete stage 0 and let the modding begin.
