Save a little longer and do them both at the same time.

Depends how you wanna do it, under 1000 you'd have to buy a box turbo, buy a unwastegated t3 or a wastegated. T3 which will push it over 1000$. Or buy a killer or special from bd. depends on your goals. Straight bolt in basically, comes with down pipe. I suggest a manifold at the same time.

S369Sx
I have heard a lot of good about that charger. They spool fast, but you would have room to grow. Save the money and buy the charger you want it will be over 1000$.
If you cannot find anything on that turbo give it a month or so. It will be released soon

Is it a 69mm ? That's kind of a large turbo for a guy who's looking just to upgrade. I think for most people a 62-64 wheel is more than enough without too much lag from a single or needing a cam to spool it.

I guess I look at turbos differently, not can be said about that charger yet, but I can say it spools faster than the 366

the S300 62/65/14 is an awesome turbo ( WG'd turbo ) .. great for towing and great for strip/street usage .. and you can tow all day with them ..

I got the opertunity to drive a truck ( W/180 IP .. mine is a 215 and has more fuel ) .. and that SOB was freeking like grease llightning even compared to my truck .. wich aint no joke ( even with a HX35 mine is Quite quick ) ...

I am planning to buy the 62/65/14 S300 .. SOON !!!!

Well what's your build? Is it stock, big fuel? Cam? Head work? Injectors, dv's, timing, future plans, air mods? Etc. If it's just an upgrade and may add. Little fuel or and some stuff later on got with a bd killer or a true 62/65/14-12 or go with a 63/68/14 if you plan on bigger power later. Those are the most versatile turbo sizes. The bd's are bolt ins for a good price and come with a down pipe. Can't get much better then that.

Ive got 4 k gs , 025 dv , might diesel head bolts, .25 head gasket , 5 inch exhaust , afc mods , and i plan on going bigger later on , but im looking for a turbo that i can get and grow into it, like add some bigger injectors after the turbo, then possible compounds way down the road, but dont want anything thats really laggy or too small for what i have now, eventually want to get 600 hp maby , not sure if thats to much for what im asking
