streetported, pends on the power numbers u want. I went with a GT35r. Dont go with low class turbo's its a waste of time do it right the first time, why not save a few extra pennies right?

Why are there so few? Because it's a major undertaking to run a larger turbo. You can't just bolt it onto the manifold. You need a different manifold, full exhaust upgrades, FMIC, full standalone and fuel system to support, tuning, etc.
That said, what kind of power are you looking at making? There are SO MANY options that to list all of them would not be realistic. Give us some info on what you want to accomplish and we can recommend a turbo.

Well I guess I will chime in here. What kind of power do you want? What do you plan to use the turbo for? Have a good plan/goal set out when you start your build, its easy to get lost and end up wasting money.
I made an excel spreadsheet with what parts I needed, where to get them and how much they cost. I also set a time line for when I was buying each part.
Their a few options such as hybrids, the TD06 kits, a few packages from A-spec tuning, or go with your own build (I did this and I know I could have saved money if I would have contacted more tuning stores like A-Spec). If you want to make 300-400+rwhp I would go with the GT35R.
I would contact A-Spec tuning they have a complete GT35R kit that will help with the manifold and downpipe problems.
The manifold and downpipe were a headache for me, i had to have a custom DP made. I had to send my manifold off to A-Spec for them to make a v-band DP. When the shop doing the install received it they sent out the DP and manifold to another person for minor adjustments and needed some wastegate modifications done.
The car was dyno tuned recently and wasn't able to get a full tune because my clutch started to go. Some of the mods are listed in my sig. I haven't seen the dyno graph yet, the shop building it said I made over 250rwhp at 8-9psi, no exact number just that he knows it made more than that. They were using a mustang dyno which they said reads a little low. I will add the number to my sig when my wife or father scans it in and sends me the graph.
Don't rush things, trust me your are going to run into unforeseeable problems.
