some set up questions for the experts out there....

ok im looking to turbo my 88 IrocZ L98 and i have a battery of questions so here it goes, first off what size turbo do you recommend, i was turned on to a t-60 by someone here on the forum that sounds mighty tasty, my car is a stock l98 but b the time i get aroud to the turbo im going to port the heads intake plenum and runners nd put all new gaskets in it and an AFPR. also the car is just mostly street driven no track time really and its not going to be my main car so its just kinda a weekend ride an i just want some more power out of it (dont we all) secondly how many lbs of boost can you push with an all stock l98 bottom end, it has about 100,000 on it but iran a compression test on it when i first got it over a year ago and they were all within 10 psi of each other but i dont remember numbers i think it was 180s or 190s but not 100% there... next what size fmu would you recommend? i was thinking a 10:1 from some past experiences. next has anyone successuflly used an Apexi S-AFC on their car i have one (first style) and i was wondering if i could put that on my car to help the fuel curve and stray away from new injectors for a little while i also have a motocross addiction i have to support! next i want to run a single turbo so what sice tubing should i run from the manifolds to the turbo then out and what size from the turbo to the i-cooler and th the throttle body, actualli i kinda wat oto keep the stock look is it possable to keep the factory air setup and run the piping into a y then into the factory things for the sleeper look and im going to try and hide the turbo under the hood maybe behind the radiator infront of the pulleys that way i can still gravity feed the return line and run all black piping so when i "pop da hood" it kinda blends in and noone really thinks much of it! and lastly atleast that i can think of for now is should irun a spark retard box or will i need it with the small amount of boost i would be running i was thinking if not then to just retard the timing very slightly via distributor and jumper wire and since im runing a knock sensor let that control it if im running into any detonation. ok thats all i can think of for now...
