Do a search on the Dodgezilla or PDR turbo. They both have larger comp wheels and supposedly have the oil flow modified for better lubrication. They are fairly reasonable in price and its a bolt in.

My next mod is gonna be a hw351 off a later model. You should be able to do that cheaper than an old style turbo and with better results.Rocky

Thanx for the info . For tIme & money I went with 60 mm & a rebuild kit . After I free up some more air with an intake elbow & down pipe I should be happy for awhile .
Thanx again ..
