Default Looking into forced induction!!

Current set up in sig.
I would like to install a front mount/truck header set up.
What would be a recommended turbo for my current engine combo?
I figure the first thing to nail down would be the turbo, and then build the rest around it.

This is 99.9% Strip car. Want to run in the real street 5.90 class.

Thanks,
Rick

personally id go with a big t-4 turbo like a gt 45 type deal. im sure dr. turbo will have good advice. but just a good n20 kit may get you were ya need to go.

A T4 is what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure it would be able to flow what I needed before getting flanges..etc..

T6 76mm is True Street trim, T4 is too small for what you want to do. Especially with your engine combination.

Go T6, no doubt about it. In fact, you could do a T6 76mm with one downpipe, and a second turbo such as a Precision 91 and a different downpipe for all out.

That would be sick.

Why in the world would a T6 be required for what he is wanting to do? How many cubes is he running with this?
