Mitsubishi TD04 9B turbo. Extremely reliable, extremely small, extremely cheap. You'll probably not even need to tune your car if you put one on.

You could probably lose it between your seat and the center console

The Garrett GT2860RS aka the Disco Potato is a popular small, fast spooling turbo that fits every budget and supports as much power as a stock FA20 can handle. It's available with a JDL Turbo Kit

There's quite a large range of turbos that would fit an 86.
