What Turbo would you guys recommend for 350bhp, I've heard fcp turbos are very good?

yes www.fcperformance.co.uk has a good selection of turbos for the 20vt and best place to get the car remapped when you have finished with the upgrades or a gt28rs or rsr will get you into the 350bhp mark with supporting mods .

Depends on the mileage - like Nismo, I also use 10W60, but my engine has done a lot of miles. 10W40 is OK for engines with a healthy oil pressure when hot (eg over 2 bar)

just wondering has anyone tried one of these ? hybrid internals for standard coupe turbo with billet compressor wheel. it interests me as the tubros are the right size for 270bhp+ so its the internals which are upgraded. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-Coupe-20V...0-/391039944473
