I have a few questions, First off I am planning on doing an engine swap into my first gen in like two weeks. I am going to put a turbo II engine in. but I Wanted to Upgrade the turbo with maybe a TO4. I want to be able to boost like 16-20 PSI, but also be able to turn it down to stock boost, because this will be my daily car... If I wire in a stock Turbo II ECU will that be able to handle the bigger turbo, or will I be better of going with like a wolf 3d ECU? ....If the Wolf 3d ECU would, be better Where and how much could I get one?

the stock ecu wont do a very good job with a bigger turbo, and its harder to set up. haltech, microtech, wolf, electromotive all make ecu's that will work fine

Okay I have a t2 gsl-se (mods in the sig). First off, you cannot use a bigger turbo and keep the n/a tranny and driveshaft. It WON'T hold up. I have stock s5 turbo with boost limited to 10-11psi and my car is making 245 rwhp and 233 ft-lb. torque. The car is already at it's handling limit. It's hard to keep the rear end from fish tailing under full throttle. I can't imagine boosting to 20psi without some dramatic changes to improve handling. Unless off course you only want it for straight line racing.

yeah I wasn't going to keep the stock tranny, driveshaft or rearend. I was going to go with a turbo II tranny with a stage 2 clutch or better. And I was deciding what kind of rearend I Was going to use. I want to shoot for 320 hp.
