What possibilities? 10whp?
If I were you, I'd spend as little as possible. Headgaskets and a timing-belt/water pump would only cost you a few hundred bucks if you can do the labor yourself or with your friend for a case of beer.
I wouldn't waste my time trying to build a high-power N/A. Anything, ANYTHING, you try to do to make more power out of an N/A will have a TERRIBLE ROI. There are people who have spent THOUSANDS, and make less power than a stock EJ20 WRX.
If you HAVE to spend the rest, invest in tires, brakes, suspension (in that order).
Otherwise save your money.
An EG33 swap is definitely possible, but you'll be asking a LOT of your friend. It's not a bolt-in-and-drive swap.
