These are great motors for boost.
For a single, the PT7675(PT76GTS) w/.96 A/R(get the 3.5" turbine exit)

For twins, even the base PT6076E's T3 .63 a/r with the P-trim wheels can elevate you to 900hp.

All provided you have the injectors, fuel system, cam and tune to get there

Lots of different options.

For a single, a 72mm Batmo with a t4 hotside would be plenty.

For twins, 52mm Bats with our .55 T3 stainless housings would be a sweet combo.

Best way is to get all your options laid out and discuss your priorities. There are many different performance levels and price levels to decide on. What matters most to you? All out, made in the USA performance? Cheapest possible? Looks (show car, polished everything?) Weight? Etc.
