Suggest a turbo for my project

Fully bridgeported S5 core with the necessary modifications to run up to 9,500 rpm.

As this is a street/strip car, I need turbocharger to spool decently, say a ballpark figure of 14 psi by 4,200 rpm.

I was thinking a T66 with about a 1.15 exhaust A/R would be a good option (especially when you factor in it's price versus competitive turbos).

HKS T51, GT40, probably good options but pretty pricey.
Other suggestions/sizes ?

You can never go wrong with a T51R.

GT42 from Magnus Motorsports sounds like it would be right up your alley as well. Search for his thread in here. There was some great information on that setup. He was getting near 15psi by 3750-4000 on a streetport. Good hunting.

Yeah, I was following the progress of his kit for a while. Sounds very suitable. I just need a few other guys to buy it and test it out first for me I shoudl contact him and ask how much he would sell the turbo alone for.
