Default Turbo recommendations

i don't know much about turbo sizing. Ar sizing or anything so hopefully someone can help me out.

02 5.3 Lm7 stock internal
lq9 mls head gasket
arp head studs
ls6 cam and beehive springs
ls6 intake
t56 trans
ceramic clutch
i bought some injectors too I think they're 1000cc
probably going to be using water meth injection

will be running 93 octane for now

this will be for a drift setup so most driving will be at high rpm so I'm guessing I would want full boost around red line

quicker spool

500-650hp capable

i see the mp70 turbo is popular. But I believe I read you'll hit full boost at 3k

and of course the cheaper the better 😀
