For a street machine 6gc and no budget issues, my advice would be 3rd gen 3s swap, i/h/e, boost controller, boost and oil pressure guages, MR2T or Camry/Solara V6 tranny, custom exhaust (at least 2.5"), a good suspension (either Koni Yellows and decent lowering springs or some REAL coilovers) and sticky tires. I might buy a bigger turbo depending on my traction issues with the ct20b.

If I had an unlimited budget for a street machine that would retain the 7afe, I would recommend that you buy the turbo I have (GT28RS w/ .63 A/R), at least 550cc injectors, an aftermarket engine management system, some sort of anti-knock protection, and a tune by a competent tuner (as well as the other non-engine related items referenced above). Some of the Audi and Volkswagon guys are getting 300+ whp out of their gt28rs powered 1.8 liter engines. Not the same but a nice reference.

In all honesty, however, neither of these answers would do you much good if you were really just looking to add a turbo to your ten year old economy engine. People with those kind of cars ALWAYS have a budget and most often it is much more modest than the first two options I outlined would require. As such, I recommend that you get some smaller garrett turbo as the other guys have recommended.
