Default turbo kit??

I was looking into fabing up a custom turbo kit, but was thinking of using the sts kit style can anyone help me out here I want to setup one like this cause it will probably be the cheapest way cause I don't have to chage the headers, all the piping should cost around $300, and What would I need thats invloved with the oil feed, I seen on the sts website that there is an extra oil filter housing and stuff (what is that about), and I am not sure which turbo to go with

I have a 224/224 565 lift on a 114lsa cam and I already make 387rwhp.
1. Is this a good cam for turbo applications?
2. About haw much horsepower would I be looking at with about 5-7psi with this setup?

thanks

the oil pump pumps the oil from the turbo to the valve cover.

I was wondering if I should build a regular front mounted turbo kit, or a rear mounted one, which one would be more expensive and more reliable or better
