You go by the amount of air your turbo is flowing. Or by the HP you want to eventually put down. Almost any size will fit behind the bumper.

Well, the first thing you need to know is what the car is going to be used for. Drag, street, circuit? The application will determine the core area, core type and end tank design you use. Be wary of copying other people's setups, because their setup might not be right for you.
