hi guys, I'm new to the LSX crowd.and could use some help. I've been reading up on turbocharging but everything Im finding is kinda overkill for my goals.

I purchased a 2000 LR4 4.8 to replace the tired 4.3 Vortec in my 86 Monte Carlo. While I'm at it I figured I'd turbo it, but I'm not looking for make power. I'd like to go with a smaller, quick spooling turbo to raise power across the power band. something with an OE feel and raise the out put to around 350 hp and tq if possible. I know it seems like alot of trouble for less than 100 hp, but I like the flat curve of a small well tuned turbo

What kind of turbo would you guys suggest?

A Maggie would suit your needs too then, have you looked into them? Or a 67mm from precision or turbonetics will do that too. Boost is like crack man...one hit and your addicted

Im curious if they make wastegate springs small enough to achieve just that.
