Default need turbo selection advice

mods are in the signature, currently running a bw s300 57/65/14 "super b" and with the fueling mods I have had to put the plate back in the pump and turn the pump all the way down for it to spool quickly ( at 1800 rpm). turbo was a decent upgrage over stock and can get 40 psi but truck only got 439hp, under my goals. so i have decided to sell the turbo cheap and ask you guys what i should look for. Truck is a street toy and may pull a light dozer rarely. needs to spool quick so prob a smaller exhaust housing. shooting for 500-550hp. have been told a hx50 set up to run on our trucks with a 66mm compressor wheel and a swapped exhaust housing can be had for under $1000 which is in my budget. what do you guys think?

With hauling a small dozer every once in awhile, biggest id go with is a 62/65. I can't see what fueling mods u have.

i have a 4gsk was running no plate but couldnt get the s300 to spool so i put a 100 plate back in it. ddp .042 dv, and sdx 5x.012 injectors. i just dont think the 62 is going to be enough either maybe a 64mm would be better

If you want a 64 i would run a 64/68/14. Best spooling 64 i have seen yet.

Sent with a Droid RAZR in one hand and 14,000 volts in the other.
