On that note, I have a couple other questions.  The turbo I have has
"Airesearch" cast into the intake side, and a few other numbers, but I
haven't been able to find exactly what this thing is, as far as size and
such.

Would you recommend a single turbo then on one side for my setup?  My plans
are for it to be built in Pontiac style--no 6000 rpm redlines here.  These
Ponchos are pretty torquey down low, and I don't want to compromise that by
attempting to build a screamer.  The car is extremely heavy, too.  I have no
idea maybe someone can enlighten me on how to choose a turbo/turbos for a
certain application. (somewhat layman's terms, please)   Like are they rated
on cfm?

Would this turbo I have be a good candidate?  Or would I need another like
it?

Deciding to use efi just seems to lend itself to "abnormal aspiration," and
having parts on hand helps, too!
