No need for the T76 on an LQ9 where you are only going to be able to push 12#s safely without going to a lower compression motor. A T70 would be closer to what you want.
Here is the consumption chart for your motor

Here is the compressor map for the turbo you "should" use

With the T70 at 12#s you will max it out at 6400ish which will work well with your shift points and still give you much better power down low since you are in the peak of the efficiency island for most of your power band till right at the end where it is still very efficient but will still not have hardly any lag and give you good power throughtout the band instead of the semi-laggy and peaky power that the T-76 will give you. I suggest you check out forcedinductions.com and start reading on how to select the proper size turbo because the T76 isnt going to get it done as well unless you are going to a bigger motor later on but you will sacrifice a decent amount now.

EDIT: upon further inspection you will be in the peak of the island for the whole powerband which means great power from the time you stomp on it till the time you let out. 3400 to 6500(36-70 lbs/min) which is peak efficiency for that turbo.

thanks for this info, it look like the t70 is the way to go. I was just looking at some notes and allen also say the t70 with 10psi or so will do it.

what do you thing about installing 60# inj.

60#ers all the way
