setup looks very nice, i'd say tuning it yourself will help save, but being the 5s is pretty sensitive to boost, you might want to get someone to fine tune it, but for 7psi or so you should be okay. i never got finished with my old project camry, would have been similar to yours. is yours an auto or 5 speed?
The biggest issue with 5S-FE's(and 3S-FE in the gen2 Camry) when boosted is people seem to worry about fuel, but not timing. So you have boost coming on but the computer is still on NA timing maps advancing the timing at WOT, thats why alot of them go pop.
