Looking for a decent turbo

I'm looking for anybody that has any good ideas as far as what turbo to run. I have and 86 n/a that I just streetported. It has new Atkins seals, side seals, anll components on the rotor, competion oil springs and a few other minor things. I plan on running a SAFC-II and maybe 550 primary and maybe 850-1000cc secondary. I have a FD fuel pump, Turbox's high rfl BOV, 2.5" pipe, a front mount intercooler, and j-spec turbo manifold. I thought about running a stock depending on the boost level I can get. Or maybe a T3/T4. Please help me out!!

I would seriously consider looking into a stand-alone rather than stock ecu w/ safc

i would not gowith a t3t4 hybrid if that is what you meant hybrids are not good in the long run for turbos in a high performance setting for rx7 according to my mechanic he gave me the reason why which was a long explantion i was going to do it and he totally put a halt on that idea i myself am waitting on what he finally wants me to buy as he is building me a 600 + rwhp engine in other words he gives me the product list i go shopping and find the best price for it that is the agreement i have with him and he was the one that said for me to do it like that as he has too much work to be shopping to get best prices and it is what i would suggest you do with your mechanic luckly i got carlos lopez of c.l.r. and man the guys knowledge is like god himself when he said let there be light he did not b.s. me when i said i wanted a 9-10 second daily driver but still be a show car i went to four mechanic before i got to him and they all said yeah we can do it mind you i was avoiding him for being so expensive but i am glad i decided to give him my money cause he was the only one that was honest he said there was no amount of money that can make a vert fc do that which is what i found cool cause i am blessed to be able to say money is no object and he said that is not the problem it is the wieght of the car especially with all the interior toys i want to add if you want you depending what you want to do i can ask him or you can like i said if you got a good honest mechanic let him guide you and tell you what to buy and you do the shopping research

I've done all the mechanic work myself. As far as horse power goes Im not looking for a whole lot just enough to keep up and or the **** out of. I think with the knowledge that I have ofr just turning 18, I think I might be able to get maybe 350 if I'm lucky and count my blessings. My job is week so money is a huge option. thinks for the help. I think I might just start with the stock TII and go from there. The car isn't put back together I have to tear it back apart, but when its done I have a list of peole to shut up for talkin on imports and saying it doesn't stand a chance against his stock 88 camaro running 15.9. I know with the streetport I've done, I should be able to beat him that way but I want to just woop the ever lovin dog **** out him. Thanks again
