turbo question
ok heres my problem....
im only 17, i have a 94 and a 95 fd. i am selling the 95 and the 94 was my daily driver before i blew the motor(114k miles). i am currently getting a malloy reman and sending it to Jeff at Rotary Power to tear it down and give me 3mm apex seals and a streetport. i have about $5000 left after i get all that dont. my question is if you were in my situtation, which turbo would you get. i know i have to buy:
fuel computer: AEM (is it a good system for FD's)
1300 sec injectors: RC Engineering
fmic: either a greedy or apex'i
boost controller: greddy profec B
bov: i have the HKS SS BOV
wastegate: tail (should come with single turbo kit)
pipes: custom made pipes
manifold: who makes these???? only thing i dont know where to get!
gaskets and other small things: make or buy
my real question is, what single turbo should i get. i want something that can get me over the 450hp mark with little lag as possible. i considered the BNR stage III but you make 420 hp with those at 14-20 psi. i want a good amount of hp at only 6-10psi and 15 at the most for drag.
these are the turbo's i considered:
gt35/40
greddy t-78
t-76 from www.cheapturbo.com
t-88 too much lag
xs engineering kit: they are 30minutes from here
t04s
t04e
t51r
apex'i turbo
and some others::
what would you do!!!!!!
i would like to thank people that reply to this post and i know what i am doing, dont let the age throw you off

From what I was told... T51= way too laggy for a street turbo if you are looking for quick spool. What about the Innovative ballistic T-66? I heard it is pretty much the same stats as the T-78 but BB so spools quicker. I'm sure it's more expensive but if you've got the money, that sounds like the ultimate setup to me. But I don't know much about that turbo so if anyone can fill me in, that'd be awesome.
