Sorry for the long story, clearly I need therapy.
I have 4 different sets of injectors to use on 3 different 2.3 cars. As published specs Lucas D1680BA 36#, Bosh 0280-150-400 46# and Mopar 4532586 52# the 4th set is stock 35# Brown Top Ford variant. Just would like to know the recommended turbos for these injectors. I am not going to jump into the Mopar ones right off the bat but they will eventually go into my SVO perhaps with alcohol injection. The Bosh will be in my XR7 and the Lucas basically are in the 87 TC currently all stock IHI turbo and all.
All 3 cars are 5 speed 8.8 axles with disk breaks and currently have the roller cams from the ranger, and top mounted intercoolers gutted and knife edge intakes and ported E6 exhaust manifolds. I have the PE ECU from the 85.5 SVO, Megasquirt standalone and several LA3/8UA ECU. I am going to use front mounted IC but it may be 2 top mounts in front just because I am cheap. Hope I can get these up to Woodward this year my daughters will drive the TC and the XR7. These are all basically 1980 versions of rat rods...
In the end the crankshaft HP Goals near 400 for the SVO (2 spare engines as required) - 325 for the XR7 (that is pushing it to the limit with stock appearing package correct?) and 250+ for the TC. I am not going to match races or drag strip just want to be able to not let morons pass me on the x-way with there "Hemi", 5.0 or LTx stock powered active exhaust sounds fast stands still cars. I already have good power for a 4 banger just not quite happy yet.
I have been collecting for about 10 years on the cheap and have a 2.5 car garage full of spare parts so I have no real issues mixing and matching standard parts.
Garrett T3 with both 48 and 63 exhaust housings and some T4 back plates
and compressor wheels, an assortment of transmissions and rear gears,
heads and blocks and a couple of 2.3 C4 with Reverse VB trans just in
case. I already turned an 89 Mustang TC swapped drive train nicknamed
Frank-N-Stang into a Car-B-Q (in my business we call it an "external
thermal event") to say the least it was exciting. The car died but the
drive line lives, I got my eye on a Pinto to be the Frank-N-Phonix using
one of the C4 trans.

Whatever beats the TC gets the XR7 next and what beats it gets the SVO, I just want to show these new car owners they aren't the only players on the block. I want to open the hood and show "stock" layout as much as possible I realize in final trim the SVO will not be.
In my work career I started as an engineering lab mechanic for a major Diesel manufacture then supported the field as a service engineer on these same Diesels. I can cobble almost anything, actually a lot of my stuff is still running 30 years later. I know my way around tuning ECU but not so much the gas variant and I have wide band sensors at the ready for data collection and feedback tuning. This is where I found my flaw using what I know about Diesel and applying to Gas (Frank-N-Stang).
Any guidance you can provide would be appreciated. perhaps a list you already have compiled I did look but couldn't find any for x injectors you need y & z hardware.
