You need to learn about turbos befor you drive a car with 1k whp. For even thinking of the words aes 390, tc78 and 900+whp. But you say your 390 is only to hold you off till you get your lsx 402 built means you have more money then brains or BIG dreams.
Search for the turbo 390 fire halk build on here from my buddy dischmitie (sp?) He's got one of FI's S88 and with 15lbs boost its all most traped 160 in the 1/4. Look in to some thing of that range

And I've driven 700-800 RWHP cars....not gonna have a problem.
1,000 will be fine.
If it wasn't for people with money to spend....every sponsor on this site would be out of business. NRE, LPE, Katech, etc......all out of business. I buy speed, I don't have to be an expert about every aspect of it. I fly jets worth $50 million with more systems and more power than any car will ever have......I only know what I have to know to fly it safely. Not how to build it or repair it or explain exactly how an individual component operates. Thats what those specialists are there for.
Dozens of cheeseballs said I was gonna kill myself in my ~500 RWHP car.
(((Just need help picking the proper turbo for my goals/needs....I'll handle the driving.....thanks.....
))).

My ~500 RWHP car is utterly pathetic.........its no more exciting to drive than a mini van.
And I've driven 700-800 RWHP cars....not gonna have a problem.

Based on your physical size limits a pt88 looks like your best bet. I'm actually going to be testing comp turbo version of a pt88 on Friday at speed inc. Il post up results on my 370.

So.... you want to use the smallest compressor possible... push it all the way to the right on the map at max shaft speed... create a **** ton of heat...run NO intercooler and no meth....
You sir need to get a grip on reality and come back to earth with your unreasonable expectations of what its going to take to reach your goal.
No Ic, No meth... Fine....as long as you have a compressor big enough to move enough air mass without the shaft speed and heat getting stupid. This thing isnt going to be hapoy with 200-300 degree inlet temps. Yes they can get that high.
The first Caveat you need to make is meth. 1 precompressor nozzle would be enough to keep your IAT's in check with no IC.
2nd is turbo size. Theres no way in hell your doing this with a T4 framed turbo. PT88 included. You might as well buck up and get ready to fit a GT55 sized unit because i wouldnt even reccomend an S480 or S482 for this. Too many cubes. Easiest way would be a GT5518r.
Or go twins.

BUT.........I appreciate all your responses and input. I realized tonight after speaking with Robert (Modular Turbo) for a good 20 minutes on the phone.......his TT kit is the thing for me.....period.
5 months......it should be at his place in Miami getting started.
What an easy decision after having things put in perspective as far as cost verse performance.....vs DONE RIGHT.

My apologies on the fmic part... for some reason i thought it said no fmic no meth.
Tell him to fit ya up with a pair of 6566's... and then go make 1200-1300 at the tire.
2000rata's car made awesome power with that kit. The best designed fbody kit on the market hands down. And to be honest you dont have to look much past the intercooler to make that determination. Everything past that is just icing on the cake.
Id love to see his kit with a 410+ inch motor and a pair of 7675's.... itd be sick.

And you know what......its gonna cost more than $10,000 in the end beyond the install costs.....A LOT MORE from what I hear.......
So for $10,000...which INCLUDES complete installation by them, why on earth would I not go for the Modular TT Kit. Why on earth would anyone not do it that wants to go BOOST.
I'm gonna do it........5-6 months and they can take the car.
