STU should be STX + intake/intercooler mods + boost mods / new turbo + injectors. Also stuff like the ALK, tranny mounts, cross braces. But all still bolt-ons. That way you could crank up the boost or go to a bigger turbo (which might not actually help because AutoX isn't about top-end power) but you wouldn't have to compete with a 318ti that's got a super-charged M3 motor. See what I mean?
Unfortunately, what you describe appears to be a Turbo Only class, as I cannot think of any simple NA equivelents to your acceptable mods other than unlimited which means welcome to SM, or NSM. SCCA is unlikely to have a Turbo Only class.
