How much do want to spend? Twin pt66's will get that done easy, or you could do the 67gtq's which will go even higher. Realistically I think a set of 63mm turbos will get 1000 flywheel hp.

Call up precision turbo. They are more then helpfull. Ask if they think 63's will get you there, they might have a better recommendation. I think those would be fine though. Let us know what you end up going with. :)

63s will definately work. What are your intentions with the car? you really want to use the smallest turbo you can for ease of spoolup. I ran hi 8's at 3400# with 60's, they spooled like mad!

I found the turbos in my sig brand new for $1000 total. Just search around if you don't want to pay full price. Precision has good deals and their turbos are the best around imo. Good luck. :)
