there's lots to choose from now, turbo's have come along way. years ago it used to be, t34, t38, t4 but there's lots of choice now

most will depend on budget tho.

gt3071r seems a popular choice but the new gtx range seems the latest big thing

you can have a gtx3076 which apparently spools like a gt3071.

who's your tuner, what HP are you aiming for?

I would change the BD14 for something better and change the exhaust cam for a standard one.

If you're taking the car to MSD to be mapped wouldn't you be better off talking to them to see what they suggest?
