Default New Project... need advice, opinions and help

I have a 405 LQ4 stroker that I want to turbo. I have acquired a 70mm .96AR turbo for this project. This is going into a #71 Firehawk and thinking of going rear mount due to not having to chop on the car. Motor is built to hold 25+psi
This is a M6 car that will be using 3:73 gears ( unless I need to do a diff size)
I also have a stand alone meth kit as well.

Do I go air to air or air to liquid inter-cooler?
Recommended Waste gate?
Recommended blow off valve?
Boost controller?
Does anyone sell a kit to run a rear mount or do I have to piece together?

End state: As much power as I can squeeze out of it!

That turbo is way too small.

I know of cars with 70mm's and 76's with 408 motors and do pretty good. Why would it be too small?
