Depends on your budget and your horsepower goals. If you're happy where you're at, just keep it stock. If you think you might go with a bit more power down the road, upgrade to the Garrett GTP38R. A rebuilt stock replacement is about $650 while a 38R is about $1600

What he said more or less... You could add a 1.00 exhaust housing which would lower your EGT's a bit, or a Van turbo is a good bet as well...

It sounds like you would be good with the 38R. You also won't need to worry about changing the tunes to match because the ones you have will work great the 38R.

Let me know if I can help,
