Default What turbo?

Happy new year all. I tried to search but couldn’t find anything so thought to ask. So basically I’m at a stage in my resto where I can start to think about the turbo. What I have to hand is a standard escort T3 unit that was rebuilt just before I bought the car.

for my resto I moved to efi using xr3i stuff, have beiges in, airtec front mount, superchip (I guess 195), stainless exhaust, head looks ported and polished, not sure what cam is in it (I think Kent) - I bought the engine and box from a guy that didn’t have much detail on it but was a great price.

Reading the web I can see people fitting t34, having their own t3 upgraded etc.

Im not chasing power and still to find a “tuner” in Ireland - given the above what are my options and people’s thoughts. Also what kind of budget and is there any recommendations (I see CR and TT come up again and again).

thanks a million

I can vouch for Turbo Technics stage 3 T3, had one on my old RST, think their code is something like S113.
