3.8 turbo setup

hi, i`m sorta in the process of building up a turbocharged 3.8 v6 for a vn commodore that originally uses a map `808.

what ecu/setup etc would it be best to convert to ?
i am hoping to run 20 to 25 lb boost,.
or would it be better to go to aftermarket ?

^^^ what he means is, is it a 1995 3800 Series II type 3.8, or the 80's rwd style 3.8 (Grand National/GNX/TT/A) It's early, and 85berlinetta2.8 just forgot about the 89 TT/A.
