Default which turbo and how to choose

its for the truck in the sig its a daily driver that hauls a few times a month, but never more than 10k, looking for something that isnt gonna spool like molasses but has the potential to hold over 45 psi, as the next upgrades are full exhaust and studs and new gasket, with the thoughts of port and polishing and a second gen manifold. which size would you suggest and why, not really set on a particular brand turbo and not against late model stock parts, just trying to get the best bang for the buck.

somewher ein the 62/65/12-14 range. they spool like stock but flow well for mildly modified engines. your injector size is a little on the big size for a turbo of this size but you will be able to control EGT's with a good fuel plate. you will have to tinker to find what works best for you. but for a DD truck a 62/65 is an awsome turbo. hp goals would be nice to know also. with your injectors a special would be usable but noticable slower that a turbo with a 65mm wheel.
