Default Turbo suggestions needed

I have a 02 ws6 M6. Decided that I needed to boost once my brother purchased his 08 C6 with an LS3. So I ditched the idea of building my LS1 and thinking of finding an LQ4/9 and get a turbo setup. Not exactly sure which one I want. Been hearing really good things about huron kits lately. I'd like to keep my AC also. Are their any other kits to look into? Looking for 500-600rwhp to make sure my brother knows my car is still the fastest in the family. Will be street car with little track use (for now but that will probably change)

Already purchased some ETP 205cc heads and a fast 92/92 combo. Are these good for turbo setups or should I get some 317 heads and stick with the ls6 intake?

Already planning on s60 rear end not sure what gear ratio I want with turbo though. Any suggestions welcome. Never had a turbo ever I'm any car I drove...so it will be a new experience

ETP heads and LS6 intake.

Sell the Fast.

But for only 600hp...almost anything would work.

Should I keep throttle body? Or should I just port the original?

Stock TB ported or unported will be more than adequate, well beyond your goals.

Sounds good thank you! Have you seen the huron system? Is it a good system for a first timer?

Huron system will work fine... I had a customer make 650hp/600tq to the tire with an S400-SX3 72mm through a 6 speed with just 9.5 psi of boost on an LQ4.

it was also at full boost at 2800 rpm too.
