74k is not too bad if you have not givin it too much punishment. For the turbo it is all what you want, Fast Spool or lots of high end power. You can get them everywere. Then if you have the money then ball bearing. It is all about what you want and how much money to got.

I am looking to use it as a daily driver, and I am trying to get close to the 300hp range, and into the 13 sec mark, so if anyone has any suggestions for which turbo to use, and what would be the best bang for the buck? or if I need to add more performance parts to make it ready for the turbo???

I will suggest the T3/t04 turbo, the spool will be fast but you don't lose much on the top end. If you are looking for 300rwhp then you are either going to have to replace your rods and pistons for forged ones so you can run higher boost. You can do that or get a port and polish and tune you fuel diverary to run about 11psi.

300 rwhp is not really a daily driver buddy especially with the clutch you need for that

GTR up on the mainland runs twin 3037's. Its one of the fastest cars I've ever been in. But that really doesn't have anything to do with a 240 huh...The T3/T4 in whatever trim you decide should be fine, but the GT3037 is worth the extra money. If givin the choice and you have the money always buy the BB turbo.
