Lancer Nugget

Hi All,
I'm brand new to the forums and Lancer scene so wanted to introduce myself and also ask a couple of questions.
We have a little 1.5lt Gli CE Lancer Coupe that we race in the Nugget Nationals here in Victoria... But as much fun as we've been having we've decided to do a power upgrade. We are doing an engine swap to a 4g93 SOHC and adding a Turbo. The doing of which has me having a few questions I'd like to ask the gurus. I've had a look through the forums and found some answers but I still have some unanswered. I'm sure they are out there but I thought I'd ask and give my headache a rest... lol ... Fuel injection and turbo's are new to me so any help I can get will be appreciated...
My understanding is the 4g93 along with attached gearbox will physically swap straight in to replace the 4g15...
Q1 - Can I use the same wiring loom or will I need to swap that as well? I'm assuming I will need to swap ECU's.
Q2 - Injectors... I'm reading bigger is better, is this true? I'm assuming I don't just go and find the biggest option that will fit and run with that? Surly there is an optimal size? Any recommendations for brands, models, part numbers?
Q3 - Intercooler... Easiest fitting and cost effective options to fit a CE Lancer?
Q4 - Down the track I'm thinking we'll upgrade to an aftermarket computer. My understanding is I should find someone to do the tuning and then go with their recommendation as they will tune best with what they know... Am I correct in that thinking? And can anyone recommend anyone in Melb {Ideally the Sth East} for tuning?
Thanks again in advance for any help you can give me... Bruce.
