FL Which Turbo to use????

Hello everyone. I have an SE which I just put a Turbo ll engine in it. It's completely ported out, half bridged, & ALL FD internals. I'm currently running a 650 carb from my old engine on it, to just break it in. I want to get at least 500 HP out of it. What size turbo should I run to do it comfortably w/o having excessive psi? Tnhx.

That's actually not bad. I've been lookin around & it seems a lot of ppl are using the GT35R so I'm leaning towards it. It must be a good choice. I'm looking at 258hp right now w/o turbo. It's ready for turbo so its running on low comp rotors.

GT35R is definitely a good choice. not too much lag at all either.

You can always add 750 cc fuel injectors if the turbo power isn't as powerful as you were hoping for.
