What kind of power. Give us some goals, then we know which way to point you.

450? That is easy just put the turbo on and 6 psi and you should be able to hit your goal and if your on a budget get a tc76 or tc78.

A TC unit would handle that with no sweat for only 450rwhp. Even 500rwhp would be cake....

How much power do you eventually want to make. Theres a whole range of turbos that make 450 on a LS1.

I guess I just dont know what to expect, and dont know what a stock ls1 can handle, 500 rwhp would be pretty kick-***, I wouldnt be complaining at ALL..ok so what trim? AR?? I get confused on that also.. thanks for all the help folks!

Auto car with a stock motor... I'd look into a TC76 with a .96 A/R hot side. Spool with stock compression with the rear mount and auto will be pretty quick. That turbo should also be able to make an easy 700rwhp in a rear mount configuration once you build the motor. For now with a stock LS1, I'd tune for just under 500rwhp and keep the timing down.

Agreed. The TC is a great rearmount unit due to the spool.
