Default A little help with chevelle turbo

Pretty new to these fourms but i been surfn these fourms for a while and im about to do a ls1/71 chevelle turbo swap and heres what i got. For manifolds run 5.3 or 6.0 truck manifolds turned forwards. Next im trying to figure out what turbo to run. I want the car to be streetable and the motor internals are going to be stock(only mod will be cam) so i dont want to run too much boost. I have about a year of tig class under my belt so welding the tubing wont be a problem. Anyone single turbo a chevelle have any advice before i start project(i know this falls in the swap fourm as well)? Thanks!

My GT45 works awesome on my 5.3L maybe a little lag on a roll, but very efficient. I have 6.0L heads on a 5.3 bring the compression to 8.6:1 Mines all stock shortblock, has a cam and intake and run 15psi.
Theres tons of write ups in the conversion section also.
