Man, you need a LOT of specific info! The first thing you need to decide is your budget or "limit". Also, I would suppose this is going to be your daily driver, not a race car. Think about how much power you're looking to make, now and later on. When you get those, you'll have the ammunition to find the custom setup or turbo kit that's right for you. May I suggest you visit the Turbo D16 Forum for some info specific to your car?
