Waaaay more info' necessary before anyone can help you out. You almost certainly won't find a "turbo kit" that will fill the bill, and don't say "Ebay" or you're fired.
Give a solid description of the parts you'll be using in the motor build, what you WANT from the combo' as far as E.T. or HP or mannerisms, etc. Be honest, don't daydream yourself into a $2400 turbo if you don't need it.
What:
Engine/CID/topend, etc. be specific
Car/chassis, including race weight, Single-purpose Drag, Street/Strip, or ??
Transmission and/or stall, use a good turbo-friendly converter company, PTC, JW and Ultimate are a few notables
Fuel system, you'll need volume, Magnafuel, Aeromotive, Weldon, Prod. Eng., expect to spend over $1K on just the fuel system from tank to engine
Power range desired, including max RPM
Horsepower desired, dont' say "alot" and expect good advice
Rear axle setup and gearing, depending on race weight, maybe <3.55:1
Performance desired, E.T. at the strip, MPH in the 1/4 or ??
Lots to think about when it comes to turbo selection, and be careful not to get swayed by any local yocals that might be naysayers to all things boost. Some guys know Roots setups and claim to have a handle on boost of all kinds, they would be wrong.
I'm almost ready to start on my Chevelle after all these years of gathering parts and financially treading water, I am anxious to dive in, fists flyin'!
