I'm starting to get parts together for an upgrade and have no idea what turbo I should get...looking for some help!
My car has ~46K on the stock unopend motor. Here is a list of what is done and what parts I have and plan to get shortly.
Currently on the car:
1. TT 93 street chip
2. 160 t-stat
3. RJC power plate
4. 3" alum. "Grumpy" MAF pipe
5. 9" K&N
6. 3" Action Fab S/S DP w/ported stock elbow
7. 3" cutout w/QTP electric dump
8. MT DR's (ET Streets) 255/50-16
9. Scanmaster
10. Stock Trans w/PTS shift kit and .570 pressure valve (replacing with trans listed below)
11. 100# valve springs
12. rerouted PCV and breathers on both valve covers (driver side vc on pass side as well)
13. MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor wires
Have but not installed yet:
1. RAZOR Alky Control Kit
2. Bill Anderson fully built bfr 200r4 w/Stagerite Trans Brake, good for mid-low 10's.
3. PTS billet 9/11 3400-3600 stall convertor
4. Racetronics Hotwire kit
5. RJC manual boost controlloer
Still need to get:
1. Trans cooler
2. Walbro fuel pump
3. Adjustable FPR
4. Injectors 60#'s
5. New TT chip for Alky and 60# injectors
6. Turbo ????????????????????????????????????
I do not plan on doing any head work or change the came until it is time to pull the engine and do so...hopefuly not to soon. So I need a turbo to work with what I have listed above.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The car can be pretty radical within reason since I only take it out a few times a month to the local cruise nites and some car shows and it sit's all winter. If I can sneak a couple passes in at the track without a roll bar that would be cool...not sure if I want to put one in or not. It is simply just a toy...would like it to look close to stock but not run that way. I have read about a lot real low ET's these cars have done on stock cam and heads and am amazed. I just don't know enough about turbos to pick the right one. I could get one that is best for my car now with stock heads and cam or go a little bigger and maybe live with a little lag until the heads and cam are done ? I have been told that with the 3400-3600 converter it may not be such a big deal with spooling the turbo but if I go too big then I get out of the heads and cam power/flow range. I suppose with the DR's traction problems shouldn't be too bad
