1. pro-turbo custom as seen on their site.. if money as not a concern... but otherwise i think the adapter i more than adequate...

2. probably a garret gt35R but i dont know for sure i would need to do some math

3. 3k ish

4. i doubt it... they all seem to cut corners

5. probably an sds em-4

These questions have been over and over.

It all depends on what you want and what you're willing to spend.

Price range could be from 1k - 3k. Personally i'm in the 2k area right now.

Manifolds, get a ProTurbo add-on for stock manifolds or go all out and make a custom manifold to fit your needs. Intake tubing (turbo to intercooler to intake manifold) should be around 2", someone correct me if im wrong on this.

Wich turbo to get, hybrid turbo is the way to go preferably...something like a .62 compressor .60 turbine.

Theres not a built kit for m20s as far i know, except for Kormans and the price is definetly not right.

As for tuning goes, theres a lot of options like:
MegaSquirt\MegaJolt
SMT6 piggy back
Haltech
Microtec
MSD Ignition box with boost retard

Hope this helps you a bit.
