typical Garret T3 .42/.48 should work fine. and can be had for $100 or less.

with the right turbo you shouldnt need 25 psi for 350whp 42/48 seems a bit small for 350whp i would go t3 super 60 if it was my build just my 2 pennies

Go with a moderate sized t3t4 such as a garrett from www.cheapturbo.com
It will spool about 2,000 rpm or so and will support your goal of 350whp.

i'd find a t3/t4-60. that will probably give you more than enough power.

"There really aren't "cheap" mods you can do to the prelude to make it quicker. Mostly just normal bolt ons. Its not like an ls1 or something where you can clean out your ashtray and gain like 40hp." - h22lude
