deciding on size and trim
what turbo and what trim would i need for a 3.8l engine that redlines at 6000rpm (tho it makes most power between 2500-5000rpm)
and it's automatic
i will be doing some reading but being as im thinking about mounting it "sts" style is there any compensation needed for the longer charge pipes and such
so should i run a bit to big of a turbo or a bit small?
the car is stock 205hp 230ft-lbs (about 160whp and 190wft-lbs im looking for 230-280whp witch i think would be about 310-330ft-lbs)
i don't know how much boost i should run but i was thinking about starting at 5psi and going to 8psi if needed
and it's automatic

being as i am trying to turbo this car for on the cheap would this ebay ching chong meow meow
t04e suffice?

it says it supports up to 350whp and 30psi of boost so i figure 230-280whp should not be to difficult with this size turbo?

i think i have pretty moderate power goals on the zzp website they say that 450crank hp on a stock l36 with their $2700 bolt on "kit" is nothing
i just don't want to spend $2700 on a turbo for a car i paid $700 for
i think if i could keep to total price of the car and turbo tune and everything under $1500 i would be happy
