1) 8-12PSI depends all are different.
2) cant be answered without knowing your goals and plans for the car.

I agree a turbo can not be blindly picked. But if you are going to stay mainly stock as far as internals go then I would suggest something along the lines of a T3 super 60 or maybe like a garrett gt28. The key for a daily driven car IMHO is to try and stay away from peaky type power so stay small enough to boost early but at the same time you want to use up as much of the available rpm range as you can.

The evoIII16g has a little more peak hp then the gt28r, its cheaper by 400 bucks, its got a small compressor wheel so it spools only a little slower then the t28 dual ball bearing setup.

Chances are your going to go down that road... its the tryed and true method. But like emonz said we cant really tell you want turbo to buy untill we know what you want.

well as far as internals for the engine it wont be done unless something breaks in there. i ask about the turbo cause i work for a company who owns garrett turbos and im trying to get a deal.

i think im gonna be pretty much stock but i will be changing somethings

my car boosts at about 13-14 psi
i dont know what the person did before me and im not sure how im going to find out, so i thought id ask to see if the car was on par(which its not meaning some one has done some work to it

I wouldnt upgrade the turbo without alot of other supporting mods to go along side it. You will need fuel and a good tune
