Default turbo 99 3.8

im not too familiar with turbos so i need a little bit of help. ive seen a couple boosted 3.8s online and thought why not.

im planing on going with the under the k member setup because i want to keep my a/c. this is my daily. im not looking for 500hp. especially on a stock block.
im not sure what turbo to go with, ive seen the t70 beeing used by the 3.8 guys and the ls1s too so is it a good choice? also, i have a friend selling a hx35 from his cummins for a good price. witch one is better?
im looking to get (or better said, id be happy with) at least 300+hp to the wheels. im not expecting my stock motor to last forever so im building a gtp block on the side to drop in when my motor blows. they come with forged internals.

if someone can make a parts list for me with some information thatll be awesome!
iv done some research so dont tell me that the search button is my friend. just need more information.
thanks!

Im not too sure about the cummins turbo. If u choose the t70 im pretty sure that u would wanna use a smaller turbine housing than the ls1 guys.

A T-Type/GN turbo might be a good choice as well.

I would contact someone in that field. Theres shops that deal with 3.8 for the gtp crowd.
I'm sure if u bought the parts from them they wouldn't mind making a list for u
