Are you referring to turbo & engine combinations or are you talking about turbo manufacturers?

Hmm good question.

I was thinking of getting maybe.. a new engine? Or something..
After looking in awe at Geo's DET, ... i was thinking of putting maybe a DET in there. Or ... what kinds of Turbo systems can regular DE's handle well? I'm shooting for 250hp or so (to the wheel)

The Hotshot turbo kit should do the trick. A DET will come just a little short. Without changing out a bunch of things ($$$$), you'll max out at about 250 crank hp.

Hotshot should be able to use 80% of the DET installation kit with their turbo kit. The only thing they'd have to fab is the compressor discharge to FMIC pipe.
