Vitesse stage 2 turbo specs...... Oh, oh, can I try ?
How about a T04E 50 trim with a lightened comp wheel and maybe a few other mild mods mated to a turbonetics #8 replica with a stage III turbine wheel. Did I win ?
When it comes to Best Bolt on Turbo's - the three that come up most often are -
K27/6 or "Big 6" ( #6 with clipped turbine blades - similar to what powerhaus used to call their "Quick spool" )
To4e 50 or 57 trim / 8 stg III
To4b 60-1 Hi - Fi - / 8 stg III
Vitesse makes a street turbo that people seem very happy with, but we aren't 100% sure what it is, and John is keeping his intellectual property to himself !
I have the k27/big 6 and I really like it. Max boost at 3100 rpm on a 4th gear roll.
Call Charlie at Evergreen Turbo in Florida. He can hook you up with any of the above combinations.

I had a garrett turbo built to meet the mods of my car. All should be matched up to obtain your desired plan in mind. Research and plan first, then buy.

This Vitesse stage 2 might be what I need for my boat: I need between 400-450hp (450 with boost turned up, will be running E85) but has to spool quickly...a ball bearing turbo is probably a must for this very, very early spool requirement.

Running from Coast Guard on the Colorado River, you guys are funny.
I hear Charlie does good work. Doesn't he modify turbos for powerhaus too back in the days?

Hell, the one in the background could be pretty damned fast if he bolted a modern engine to it, as well. 
Mark, your project is dumbassed crazy! I LOVE it!
