Default V8 turbo project, what turbo?

I'm building a turbo setup for my 318 (5.2L) mopar. I am planning on a single turbo, heres a picture of the manifold i'll be using (not yet complete but you get the idea):

The turbo will mount on the passenger side unit, it will be fed through a cross overpipe from the driver's side banks aswell. Thinking along the lines of a t-66, or a t-77, not looking to spend a fortune, but really open to anything that would work! Not planning on making a full race car or anything, it will run on a modest 5-9 pounds of boost via an external wastgate (starting with 5 working up to 9) and a redline of about 6500. What do you think? Any suggestions? Any factory budget turbos that would fit the bill? Anything helps!!!

There's alot that would work you just need to do some research. Holset is a company that has alot of diesel turbos that can be used on V8's. Also many of the 7.3 and 6.0L Powerstroke turbos work good. I guess thats a start...
