I have a TKO-600 as I was building a motor with lots of torque so the 2.87 1st gear would work just fine with my 3.73's. Since you are building a turbo car and since turbos love to be loaded up, I'd suggest the 600 for you as well. The .64 overdrive will also drop the RPMs a bit on the highway as well.
Another option you might want to look at is the Viper-spec T56, it's a smoother shifting tranny than the TKO-600 and can handle big power as well and that 0.50 6th gear would work wonders at freeway speeds.
