The best? Thats very subjective..

First off you need to ask yourself what you want this car to do.

Drag, street, autox, rally, etc. maybe a combo of the listed?

So you need to consider lag, what kind of gas do you plan on running, are you willing to beef up your driveline to handle huge horsepower, etc.

Just some points to consider

Definite or maybe so plans to beef up those internals? The stock internals can only handle so much safely you know

I would start in stages,(ie Buscher Or Ams) Once those are done, Look into something bigger than just a "stock" turbo.

Depending on how much lag you can handle either a gt30 or gt35 trim should be good. There is a thread on this section you can search for the lag on a gt35r.

Supporting mods are also needed to run high boost levels those two turbos can dish out
