Wow. That was an AMAZING mix of "knowledge" and "newbie". I haven't seen that before. One minute you're rattling off some turbo I've never heard of, and the next you're asking if turbo choices change if you change the body panels?!

OK, like I said, I have no ideas about that turbo. You just have to find one that is ball-bearing and not too big (unless you run a 2.2l stroker kit and MAD rpms!). You're probably going to be better off with something in the size range of an HKS GT2530 or GT2835. Go read about those...

As for the Ichigo face conversion, that has NOTHING to do with turbo fitment. The engine and unibody stay in the same place. The only thing that changes is the shape of the fenders, but that's on the OUTSIDE, which has no effect on the turbo and whatnot. And the hood has the same clearance as before.
