Depends on your goals. A Pmax with a single bladed compressor wheels would be a GREAT add-on to the injectors. You could have the stocker modded to help. Depends on the money you want to spend as well.

Pics to explain the different compressor wheels:

These are just an example. There are several variations out there for just about any turbo.

I rebuilt an early 03 stock turbo. $100 for a kit and then threw on a wicked wheel2 $200. I went the extra mile and had it balanced. It was dead nuts so I only got charged $50. $350 turbo pushing 40psi

I was thinking about doing that 6.0 lover2! Thanks for feedback! Sounds like that would be a good step up over stock on a budget. I was wondering where you got rebuild kit? I hear there are different thrust washers available. 270 degree vs 360 degree washer?

I also got a thread that shows what the guts to the turbo looks like if you're nervous. Easy as heck though

I am in the market for a turbo as well, I have been looking at the MTW stage 1 turbo, it's perfect for stock to 155 sticks. It's also supposed to flow about the same as a pmax and spool faster than stock. Plus there only 850$ with a billet wheel.

Since MTW is a rebuild you take your chances. A Pmax with a billet wheel will perform the same, since it's a new turbo it's does cost a little more.
The amount of PSI you read doesn't mean anything with regard to airflow which is more important.
