Turbo size Been tossing the idea of doing an FI set-up with a custom turbo kit im shoting for around 400 Rwhp nothing outrageous. Would a t-60 get me there i know its not going to be cheap but dont see why i need to get a 67+ mm turbo. please correct me if im wrong just looking to run about 5psi. I dont know much about turbo's so please push me in the right direction.

a turbo set up is not cheap , u can do your horsepower goal on motor a lot cheaper than going turbo.put a 4" crank in your motor and use a mild head and cam package

i decided to do a Mp t70 with about 5-6 psi would 42 pounders be okay? Or do I need alike bit bigger injectors. I know turbo's arent cheap just dont want a heads and cam or a 383. Im not looking to get a cheap turbo get im going to to build it myslef over the next couple months.

Why not shoot for ~ 480 rwhp (pulls number out of ***) with a T67 @ 5 psi? Use 60 lb injectors and upgrade your fuel delivery, and you'll have a setup that you can add boost to later if you want to (and you will). It makes good sense to overbuild while you're doing all of this work. For your cubes, a T60 might not have much more efficiency to contribute past 5 psi.
If you're honestly only looking for 400 rwhp, then heads/cam (nicely tuned) is a much better and less expensive route. You could then spend some money on gears and a stall for that A4 and be pretty quick...
