with your setup, a phfat shaft 62 or even a phaft shaft 64 would do wonders. but they are expensive. A s300 with a 62 or 64mm inducer will be good and a tad cheaper. Schieds, Industrial injection and HTT are very good normally. BD super B special turbos are pretty good too.

ATS auroa turbos are hit and miss, Personally, I've never ran one but I've got a few buddies who have ran them, some did good, others were complete junk so its pretty much a coin toss for me. Personally, I dont like ATS products, way over priced for what it is in my opinion.

Good set if injectors and a 62mm or 64mm turbo will work great.

head gasket failure is definately possible... i would highly recommend studs before a turbo upgrade..

save yourself time and money and stud the motor before you go any further and I don't recommend the smarty stack with edge you gain some bottom end but loose on the top end. for $500 or more for a smarty you can get a lot more out of something else. I would get a 62 turbo it will be good and you can always add a 471 or 475 under it for some compounds and make good power.

How many psi of boost can the stock turbo handle and what would be the best turbo to upgrade to
