forget the stock turbo and go with a 300/400 kit.
57/s475 or 62/s475.

and im trying to tell you that 1 s400 base turbo can be built 10's of different ways so can a s300 s300g ht2b ht3b hx52's 55's 60's ect ect, so answering your question on what turbo or turbos can get you where you want to go is so vague that we cant answer your question well. for fast spool-up you will have to keep a pretty small secondary or add drugs. the same 62mm secondary historically will spool noticably slower in a compound set-up compared to the same turbo in a single set-up. also your injectors will never get you to your goal. you will need to go quite a bit bigger.

ya i have found that im gonna need to go up to some 5x18 injectors and i was just seeing on the turbos but i think i figured out that im gonna run a 57 over a s475 and i also have a 200 shot going on the truck hopefully that will be a good match if not i guess ill sell them and buy new ones and just keep trying tell i get it right

If you are doing nitrous you will want an External gate and not use the 65mm turbine.

the 57mm will be too small.

Consider at least a 62/71, 63/68 or 64/71 or 74

with nitrous... yes. make sure you get a progressive kit so you do not blow up turbos.
