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

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

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?
