selecting a turbo is like buying a suit.

you have just asked what size suit should you buy without giving your measurements.

in order to get a helpful (to you) answer to your question you have to set forth what you plan to do w your car, what kind of budget you have.

single turbo setups produce anywhere from 300 to 700 hp.

different power levels require vastly different support systems.

the FD is fairly light so hp goes a long way to performance. for instance 460 rwhp produces around 125 mph in the quarter... 460 is fairly easily obtained and is also pretty reliable. comparatively, the $100,000 ZR1 Corvette does 127 in the quarter.

of course the quarter mile is not what the FD was designed for but it is a yardstick of acceleration.

my point being hp goes a long way in the light FD.

so what are your measurements?

For anyone to advise, you definitely need to have a goal in mind, along with how much you are prepared (or able) to spend, what the car is used for, fuel type, etc...
