Default blew up turbo...suggestions

Turbo ate itself this weekend, looking for an economical replacement. Would like to upgrade slightly while apart (but money is pretty tight). Looking to make 500 rwhp, control egt,s, and still be able to tow heavy. Looking at BD supermax seems about right, and pretty reasonable compared to others. Any suggestions?

you are pretty close to indiana i would suggest calling fleece performance or danville performance. they are both selling the gt37 i believe and they both modd it before shippng or you an take it there and have them installed. these turbos are good for 600 hp with the right tunning
