Default building a turbo kit, need some input

im thinking of building a turbo kit for my 06 type-s. i want this power mainly for daily driving and about 340-350whp. what would be a good turbo for this much power and that doesn't have too much lag. i was thinking of a t3/t04e 46 or 50 trim. also how big of injectors should i go w/, i was thinking 650-750cc should do the trick. and will i need to upgrade the fuel pump w/ that much power? and what heat range spark plugs are suitable for this power. i've pieced up turbo kits for my past cars so i know a little bit of what to get and not to get. i will also be running k-pro. some of you may suggest the greddy or hks kit but i think in the long run i may actually save a few hundred bucks piecing up a custom kit. thanks in advance.

also can you guys recommend me a clutch thats good for 350whp

search the archives of sportcompactcarweb.com, they did a build on a nissan s13 with a turbo they called the 'disco potato'. i think its a garrett gt28___ (not sure about the rest). i remember the article calling it the best 2.0 liter turbo available for a street/track car. anyways, the turbo is ball bearing and it spools quick but has the potential for high horsepower. as far as injectors, 650-750 cc might be a tad too big on a 350 whp motor. you'll probably want new drive shafts that can hold that much power, as well as a clutch such as exedy or act.

If your looking for daily driven 350whp you don't want the GReddy kit... that kit is good to around 300whp. Going custom... the Precision T67 turbo with the revhard manifold should be a good fit and fairly inexpensive and can handle power up to 500whp. I would definitely recommend 750cc injectors and Walbro fuel pump. Stock fuel pump is only good to 300whp. 1 step colder on the plugs do the trick and the Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck clutch/flywheel is a great street/strip clutch!

Let me know if you have anymore more questions
