Help Choosing a Converter

I just broke the original transmission in my 87 Gn and just bought a tci 2004r. Now I need a converter and have no clue which one to get.

The car has a te44 turbo with the Gn110 cam. Are their any other factors to look at when buying a converter?

Thanks Any help much appreciated.

If your gonna keep that turbo for a while Id say 2800 max stall. If your gonna lock it at the track, 5 disc lock up for sure. I got a single disc but I dont lock it at the track(its not worth the xtra 2 mph to me).I hear PTC has some good non LU's.
