I was actually lookin at a universal single turbo kit from ebay to get me started and when it is up and running I am going to buy a good name brand turbo !

I would get the smallest turbo that will achieve your goals. I built a 87 cultlass with a 5.3 and a mp70 its way more fun on the streets than the big turbo cars we built. The little 70 put the car in the 10's at fairly low boost and it pulls hard out of the hole. I would get a 76 from turbonetics and let them pick you're exhaust trim and housing.
