Default Upgrading turbo but keeping bd exhaust brake. Turbo options?

Hey guys, been reading and soaking up the knowledge of this forum for a bit, and finially have a question. My truck is a 97 with a 4000rpm gov kit, 60lb valve springs, advanced timing( 15*), boost elbow and a 10 plate. I do tow a trailer and living in bc it's really handy to have the exhaust brake. I know I'm very limited for options in upgrading my turbo. Any recomendations? Open to playing around with a hybrid if it's worth my time.
Cheers, cam

It's mounted on the back of the turbo. If it was online I'd have no problems.
Cheers.

really you cant go to crazy of a turbo since you stuck with the stock downpipe you could go with a hx35/40 hybrid gives you the air of a hx40 with still being able to run the stock downpipe so you can use your exhaust brake i ran the hx35/40 for 2 years and it was agreat turbo for towing i had to sell the pacbrake when i upgraded to a super phat shaft 62/71/14
