67mm will be OK if you plan to keep the boost under 10psi. For anything more than that you'll need to go to a T76 or larger with a decent sized turbine wheel and hot side.

Expect to shift around 5500ish with the 67mm turbo.

You want 700? I would go with a T76, talk to Forced Inductions about the proper a/r housing, on a rearmount that will make or break the combination. That window of the proper a/r is smaller on the rearmounts because of their inefficiency. They work just the a/r is critical.

I run a ST80 with a 1.1a/r on my 383 heads & cam combo, with the 1.25a/r the car is a pig unless you load the turbo.

Yup, with a 1.25 and no quick spool valve the 80mm can be laggy.

What turbo and turbine setup? If a small turbine like a p-trim or q-trim run the biggest a/r you can get. If you went to a ST80 you could run a 1.0 a/r which I've done in the past and it spooled OK, but I have a Th400 and once spooled never have to re-spool. If 6 speed I doubt it will be fun to drive.

I would NOT pick up that turbo, a 1.32 AR..on a M6 is going to be a pig for spooling in a rear mount without a spool valve..like zombie ALREADY suggested talk with forcedinductions and get what they recommend, dont just slap something on there...plus your current set up would/should be a T4 which would mean youd have to change over for a T6
