There is no "best" turbo its all about the what it can flow. Most applications use a hybrid t3/t4 due to ease of manifold configurations. Don't even think of putting a turbo on without upgrading the fuel pump, injectors, and even possibly the fuel rails. A stand alone computer system to regulate the fuel would be the best, but a ecu flasher might work. I'm guessing no engine work has been done so any more boost than 5-6 psi will fry the pistons, and even then it'll probably spin some bearings and fry the clutch/tranny. N/A cars were simply not ment to be turbo. Not saying it cant be done, it can, just be sure to do it correctly less you make a paper weight of your engine.

I've heard a lot of good things about Greddy, if you don't mind me asking, why are you choosing to turbo it and not supercharge it?

I strongly recommend you join www.newtiburon.com, which is the world's largest Tiburon forum. We have a LOT of Forced Induction tibs. The best turbo kit for the Tiburon would be a custom built one. See the attached link: http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87013

Also, one of our users did an online journal of his turbo build: http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122863

Turbo's for the V6 Tib are fairly rare (there are lots of turbos for the 4--cyl verstion though), but there are a LOT of supercharger options for the 2.7L V6: NGM Sniper, NGM Assassin, Alpine Supercharger. Check out the for-sale section, some guys are selling their kits!!!

As the first poster mentioned, you will need to upgrade your injectors, and possibly the fuel pump as well as have some sort of fuel management (Apexi Neo, etc.). Now, we do have a lot of Puerto Rican Tiburons running high boost turbos on stock internals (some over 400 WHP). But most people install a built motor before going forced induction.
