Default Need Help Picking Out A Turbo

im tossin around the idea of building a turbo kit for my 88. not to sure about which turbo i would need though. i have a grand national turbo sittin in the garage would this be big enough to run 6-8 psi on a stock l98? how much boost can i safely run? as for intercooling i wanted to go with the snow boost cooler and have been thinkin about putting the turbo where the battery is unless u guys know better or easier places to put it? if you do could u please post pics?
my main goal is to add 100-150hp. would nitrous be an easier way to do this?

if you are on a tight budget, grab yourself a Turbonetics TC78 from Forcedinductions.com, that is the best bang for the buck turbo going right now is small and easy to package and will support plenty of power for future upgrades and still spool lightening fast on a 350cid motor.

GN tubro is WAY TOO small
