What turbo to use for rmt

I been tossing the idea of tubing my car but didn't want to have a bunch of piping in the engine bay so I'm planning to build a rmt turbo for my Camaro. It ll have a 350 vortec with a single plane intake the motor is pretty much stock for now my hp goal is 400 to 450 nothing crazy cause it ll be street drive. And the odd track visit just wanted some input on what size turbo I should run. I also work at a wrecking yard so maybe I could find something off a car or truck that has a turbo I can use.
Thanks kevin

I know I can Probley get that with the vortec but like everyone else out there I'll be looking for more power down the road I do plan to build up the motor later on I figure a turbo will get me up there in hp sooner cause I know I can alway upgrade the turbo when I do the engine mods

Gotta pick the turbo based on what you are looking to achieve. A single T70 could work for a wide range of hp up to 650whp+ depending on the setup. Variety of turbine options to dial in the spool speeds and flow requirements of the motor.
