Turbo Olds 350

First off, if anyone is annoyed that I am posting this here please tell and I will stop, but this seems to be the best turbo board around.

I am looking to build an Olds 350 with a turbo setup if I dont swap in a 86-87 GN motor in the next couple of years and I am pondering a few questions:

1. Is a single turbo set-up easier or harder to do that a TT setup in a g-body? And for either what size turbo should I use? I will try to find out from some olds guys how much power the bottom end will handle.

2. What should the headers be made out of?

3. What is a good EFI conversion, and should I use a doghouse 90 degree bend with a throttle body or use a carburator style mounted 4v throttle body?

4. Has anyone here used a megasquirt EFI system, or know of any comparable systems?

Thanks,
Joe
