If you're going to upgrade the motor the 67 might not be enough. I am going with a GT76 for mine. The guys at STS can help you decide which is best. What you might be able to do is go with the larger turbo for now, but a smaller a/r to help the boost build quicker. Then, when the motor is donw, just change the housing to keep up with the flow demands. I'm not an expert on turbo's, but I think that might be a good way to go. Call STS, they can help.

From what I understand, your close LSA of 112 will lead to boost bleed off. I THINK. Like I said earlier, I don't know cams that well. But my new cam is going to be on a 116 lsa. And that's a custom grind from someone who knows cams. I don't think it's gonna hurt you too much, it's just not ideal.
