Well if you want a good drag car will minimal lag then GT35/40 is the way to go.. but you have to understand that dumping 4k on the turbo kit isn't all there is to it.. and you will not need 2 bov's unless you use something puny and useless like a Greddy type-s or HKS SSBOV. Use will also need:
clutch: $500 easily
1600 fuel injectors: $300
fuel rail: $200
SX regulator: $180
bigger SS fuel lines/filter: $400
strong fuel pump: $300 at least
engine management (Power FC, Motec, Haltech): $1200-2000
intercooler setup: $1000-1600
And then you will be breaking stuff very easily with that much power (PPF, diff, tranny.. who knows). Anyone who goes online and looks at a turbo kit thinking that the initial investment in the kit is all that is needed has much to learn.. and I know everyone here can corroborate this. I am not trying to dash your hopes, I just want to make sure you know what you are getting into.

$700 on a fuel kit (injectors rails fpr etc)
$2500 on a single kit (cheapest, dp, tial 44mm wg, ss manifold. etc)
engine management microtech: $1300
intercooler setup greddy 3 row: $1000
tial 50mm bov $220
I spent this much already for a gt35r setup with 850/1600cc with custom rails. thats not incl tuning and drivetrain. Single turbo adds up. im not even incl boost controller (blitz sbc i-color) or gagues (apexi el2) or even solid mounts.

I believe the GT35R is the best all around single turbo. It has little lag and you can push a lot of power through it. It is also expensive! But hey, If you are going to spend the $$ to go single why not get what what you want?
I also suggest if you are planning on doing this to an engine with a lot of miles that you get it rebuilt. I have seen people single motors with over 90k miles on them. If you have only the 5k to spend I would save it for when the motor needs help. It will.
If you do go single please do it right so you don't blow your motor! There are a lot of people on the forum here that can help you with that
GL!
