Mine was built for a Turbonetics 82mm F-1 mid frame turbo. Instaspool. They offer them with a 76mm and 80mm, although If you ask, they can put just about anything together.
MightyMouse has a PT-88 that he put on the kit with some modification.

yeah he was nice enough to let me get his old crossover pipe and that bracket that goes to the old a/c holes after he made the change. I made the rest of the kit with a TC76
the car has the stock long block and im lookin to trying to get a motor together, but i need to know how big of turbo i can get so i can decide how big a motor i should build
thanks for the Info

ST80 went in with modifications to the Turbo Support bolt wholes so that I could slide it to hang the ST80 as needed. That gave me about 3/4" of play which was all I needed. A few of the other guys have redone the support to hang the ST80 but I went the simple route. 
If you want to run more than 17psi I'd modify the cold side charge pipe to get a better connection meat for the silcone hose to clamp on. It kind of sucks when you blow it off on a low 9s pass.
Beyond that you just trim the cold side pipe end running into the IC as needed to get the fit correct.
It will require a custom turbo filter setup though depending on wheather or not you want to move the radiotor forward for fit another one in there.
The question I have now though is what's the hot size deminsion comparisons between the ST80 and the PTE88? I need more turbo all ready and the hot side is my tight spot because of the motor plates.

I tried a pte 88, it hit the water pump, but not by nearly as much as i would have thought, i might end up just extending the support and running that, as for the rest of the pipes they shouldnt be too hard to modify being as they are all diy

To keep the on-center housing, then a Tnetics GTM unit would be the biggest. If you are planning to re-design the kit and move parts over with a tang V housing, then a PT88 can be done.

crf, i missed the post where you put down 900rw with the turbo you have now?? i'll reiterate with small cubes the turbo you have now can make 1100horse
my pte-88 will be f/s soon as jose sends me the new turbo (and provided it fits).. still waiting i believe we are about 5 weeks into the 3 week wait
