Building an RB30 turbo-Advice???

[morgo-]

Just purchased an RB30 and am hoping to make around 4-500hp at the wheels
planning to turbo this motor and i am wanting any advice as to what turbo sizes to use what brands get-how much to pay-what sorta boost needed, wondering what sort of engine mods will be required for this power on an rb30...heads,rods,cams,turbo,oil pumps,pistons,compression required, ecu? any advice would be great-thinking about putting it in a hz one tonner for something different....anyone know if it will fit??

cheers morgo
