73 Duster here. I mounted mine further to the passenger side than Dizuster and have a smaller framed 78/75 T4 turbo than his S400. Flipped magnum manifolds, relocated alternator to driver side, and a remote oil filter to sneak the downpipe through. No cutting of anything. The junction off the passenger manifold to the turbo inlet merge probably isnt ideal, but it'll work for my goals. Microsquirt with LS throttle body/coils/sensors and a crank position sensor from SD Concepts on the board here.

I'm looking at a 76mm turbo and blow Th through carb. I just don't want to get to involved then change my mind and throw on the induction solutions plate that i already have.

It's not so much about the size, as it is who's converter it is/what version.
I have tried many converters. The problem with a turbo car is getting it to stall high enough on motor alone to light the turbo, but tight enough that once the boost comes on it doesn't stall too high.
For example... I had had many iterations of the lower cost 9.5" PTC. It worked extremely well at moderate HP levels (say below 650~700hp or so). But when I really started turning up the boost/power, it just wouldn't work. The last version of that converter Kenny (from PTC) and I tried, would stall 2200rpm on motor, and 5600rpm on full boost. The 2200rpm made it EXTREMELY slow to spool, and the 5600rpm was just WAY to high for this motor.
After that I moved to another 9.5" Nissan Core PTC converter. This one now stalls about 3400rpm on motor only (which makes it easy to build boost and bracket race), and stalls about 5200rpm on full boost (which is a lot better for this motor). It also cost 3x as much though!!!!
