turbo recommendation for daily driver.
Im looking for opinions. Heres what i want to do, ive got a 65 catalina that id like to put either a 5.3 or 6.0 ls motor into. Id like to set it up for a single turbo. Just to be unique, i know ill get flagged by the hardcore pontiac crowd for getting rid of the 389.
I would like to make 500 wheel hp and a **** ton of torque(its a rather large car lol). what size turbo whould you all suggest and brand. ive kinda got my mind set on a master power or borg warner. i want to do this on a stock short block and keep reliability.
this car will be a strict daily driver with maybe one track day just to see what it can do. so the turbo should be on the small side and make peak power around 6k or earlier. its a very comfortable car to drive and all i want is a cruiser. thanks in advance for any recommendations.

i have no complaints with my stock lq4 and master power 76. it spools instantly and makes gobs of tire smoke i have no idea how much power it makes but it's more fun than my mid 11 second gn.so call rob at modular he will hook you up. find a clean motor and put the old poncho motor on a stand, find a good overdrive tranny and rock it.

you know i swore i was going too but in between being a new dad and trying to cram the swap in the car and learning to tune i really didn't document it that well. but if you need any current pics or info on how i did mine feel free to ask. but a lot of it is in the g-body thread. heres my half *** thread. thanks
