need help on new turbo setup

Standard clutch would probably be fine, but your clutch certainly will be.

5PSI with what turbo? If it's an ebay kit it's probably a T3/T4 hybrid, in which case you'll be fine probably pushing 130kw atw?

If you're looking at a ebay kit consider the Godspeed kits from the USA. You can get them landed for around $1,100+ and the reviews I've seen from them on www.d-series.org have been very positive, consistently driven at 12PSI. Looks like quite a decent kit for the price. I'm considering one for later this year

If you want ti boost it properly, a good quality kit from someone like full race will be around 4-5k landed + fuel system upgrades + ecu + fitting and tuning. It ends up being around 7-8k but you will find that the turbo kit will handle much more than your standard motor will handle.

In regards to an OEM clutch holding up, I will say probably not as the torque from the turbo will destroy the clutch, especially if you start clutch dumping.

In regards to your short ratio comment, look at WRC cars. Turbocharged animals that crank out 300hp and will go from 0-200 quicker than what most cars will make from 0-120. Short ratios have it benefits, but you need to look at where the car will be used most and gear it accordingly

proper ECU and tuning will be more than $700 budget anyway.

oem clutch will be fine depends on how you use them.
if u just dump the clutch every light, it wont last.
mine is still last after 5 years NA and 1year boost at 9.5psi.

and i dont even know what clutch i have, just whatever the clutch came with the engine from japan lol.
