turbo size help I've got a 91 foxbody I put a 6.0 lq4 in.I put new bearings ,rings and gapped them for boost.Also ported heads 317 s with edelbrock pro x intake 80 pound inj and 90mm throttle body,head studs and good gaskets and the cam is a btr int 278 exh 287 dur@.050 int 226 exh 234 lobe sep 116 lift. 605 . 576. The car has a power glide with Trans brake and 1.82 first gear and 342 rear.Im trying to get a good street car with around 600 to 700 hp if possible.Also when some of you are building your turbo kit are you useing flipped manifolds or build headers.And any pic or advice would be appreciated this is first turbo car I've put together thanks

Those are very modest goals for the parts you have. There are plenty of turbo options, if I were starting from scratch I would get an S480 and be done with it. They are cheap, make good power and give you room to grow. Flipped truck manifolds are the easiest/cheapest thing to do. On a Fox you'll have to ditch the front sway bar/mounts to even fit the manifold on backwards.
This is what I built for my Mustang.

That's kinda what I was thinking.What kind of water pump and alt you useing,and I guess no power steering?About what kind of power you think I can get out of it staying on safe side for now with boost.Also what size stall and would be good or should I just get ptc to build me one.The car is going to be a street car and race some on week ends
