You have a good idea on the turbo size. A turbo off of a 2.5L engine will spool fastest and will give you generally good performance. Go with the big ones if you want a 800hp engine (yeah good luck with that!).

Take a look at any engine with a 2.5L engine in it. Volvos, Saabs and Mercedes with 2.3L, 2.0L and 3.0L all have exactly what you are looking for (T3). Don't go to big or it will spool too slowly. By the way, there is more than one type of T3. Check out that link I sent you and take a look at one of the Sticky posts.

Good luck
