What Turbo to go with..

I am new to turbo cars with this Rx7 being my first turbo car. I am fimilar with N/A builds. My Rx7 was purchased with minor upgrades that were incomplete and untrusted. Here is the list of what the previous owner had done to it.

Rebuilt motor with 1700 miles (street port)
Heat treated with true mazda short shifter (was redone along with motor rebuild)
Koyo radiator plus oil cooler
Greddy t78 single turbo

items not yet installed:
ignition system
HKS system (not sure what it was but it's looks to be some unit with llots of wires)
Greddy oil catch can

I have done some searching on the net and I have thought about doing it all over again. I was hoping to find a shop to do it right for me but living in Minnesota there's no shop that will touch my Rx7. I have found a few items that I wanted to purchsed. Here's the list.

Greddy T88 turbo kit $3,700.oo
Greddy intercooler $1,300.oo
Hks cat back $$350.oo

x amount of $$$ spent on a shop to get my car running right. Any suggestions anyone?

A-Spec is down in Chicago and does very good work. Definitely worth looking into and Sean is very knowledgeable about turbo setups depending on what you plan to do with your car.

Sweet! Do you have their number?

Now I hear that one of the best stand off chips for the FD is the Apexi power FC. Can they tune that or would I need AeM or some other ecu for that matter?

Why not keep the t-78? You can make plently of power with that turbo.
