Default Best turbo

Hey guys! I'm gonna be buying a new turbo pretty soon and I need some help on which brand to get? I'm pretty dead set on getting a 62/65/12 I'm gonna be running it with5x12s. But before I drop $1500 on a turbo I'd like to hear what brands you guys have had good luck with?
Thanks a lot!

i have run a HTT 62/65/13 for a good long while now with SDX 5x12's, pretty good combo. it tows well can be driven totally smokeless BUT it can get VERY hot if i let it. normal driving and towing are very controllable, hot rodding around can and does get toasty expect excessive drive pressures above 2500rpms. i have nothing but good to say about this charger if... you arnt out to make gob and gobs of HP. it is a wonderful size for a pretty hot DD 12 valve. a good set of 5x12's complement it well but stock injectors get the jobs done just fine. i also would recommend the 14cm housing due to the choke/drive pressure issues you will have above 2500rpms. spool-up will be very close to stock.

studs are not needed

there is also a BD 63/65/14 and we build a 63/68/12. all are good options.

never ran one but talked to them on the phone a year or so back. supposedly the wastegates are quite a bit bigger than a bin unit scrolls are tighter so spool-up is gonna be quicker but with that comes the choking problem. they are quite a bit cheaper aswell.
