Biggest turbo you can fit would be what I did, the T3-T4. While you could fit a bigger if you cut into the frame, a T3-T4 has more potential than our engine can use. Check over on the turbo thread for more info on the sizes and such, I don't want to retype all of it. Only thing I would recomend is a smaller exhaust housing than I used if you went with the hybrid. I would go with a .48 A/R for better all around performance and good spool up at lower RPM. My turbo is a chinese knock off turbo from ebay (though I made it out of a few different turbo pieces I had laying around). All of them I have seen have the larger .63 A/R exhaust housing which like I said is a little large. You will have to modify the oil inlet and modify the waste gate canister to fit as its pretty tight. I have pictures over on that thread.

When you say a T3/T4 has more potential than our engines can use, what exactly is the limiting factor for the engine? Is it fuel delivery?
