Default Need advice on Turbos

I am currently looking to upgrade my turbo , but I am confused on which one to get.
Im looking at the following 3 as of now but am open to suggestions.

Super B Special
Aurora 4000
Silver Bullet 64

Which would be best for me? I use my truck for fun and as a backup/toy. I dont tow much if at all, its mostly for fun and as a reliable back up DD.

Future upgrades will be Headstuds, delivery valves, possibly bigger injectors 5x.014 or
5x.016s, hopefully soon I will bench/turn up my P-pump.

Looking for between 425-550hp maybe 600 in the future.

super B special the aurora 4000 would not be bad

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

i read if you were ever going to work with the truck or tow 10,000 pounds they were not sure if the 4000 would cut it they would recamend the super b special and the 4000 is 5 percent more money that the super b special idk about the silver bullit 65

Would my current 5x.013 injectors be good enough for the super b special? or would i need to go bigger?

they would be ok but you can run way bigger with that turbo 5x.013 they consider 60hp injectors

should do just fine to start could always go bigger if you like.don't be affraid to run some more timing either,add a rack cap, make sure you have good fuel pressure to the pump and you will have a pretty fun street truck

OK, before I bump up my timing I gotta get some headstuds.
I should be good on fuel pressure got a airdog 2 165.
Ill give it a try and if I find myself wanting more ill go to 5x.016s

What would be good for timing?
