Default D66 or h2e

Hello everyone I need a opinion on what turbo to buy. My sig has all my current mods so I was looking and reading on both of the turbos listed above and I can't decide what one to choose. I have heard the d66 is a great set up for my mods and i also heard the holset is pretty good too. I would like to be around the 400 hp range is all I want for now and I plan on going way bigger in the future. Would the holset be to much for my set up and would I be better off with the d66. Any feedback would be great!!!

I cant see your Sig. Both are good turbos, but if you plan on going bigger later get the H2E or something similar

It probably is on the website, I'm using tapatalk. With stage 1s I think you will have a hard time spooling an H2E.

Why stage 2s? Go with some hybrids, they are more efficient and can be tuned to whatever you want

That is a very good point! When I upgraded to the stage ones I wanted to do hybrids but my funds wouldn't allow it at the time and the original injectors were on their way out. Just keep in mind the engine has 400k on it but it's very sound compression is good and it's wearing extremely well according to oil testing. I don't drive it hard all the time, every once in a while if get on it hard when I'm feeling froggy. Eventually I'm going to rebuild it and go for big hp numbers. I'm fine with putting hybrids in it the way it is now and keep upgrading mod by mod. I guess what I'm thinking is I can run it until it finally gives up and keep doing the mods and once it finally gives up I will rebuild it and I will still have all those upgrades on the fresh engine that I can really turn it up and have a decently powerful truck. I just like the idea of the h2e kit because it is a stronger set up and if I want to to upgrade the turbo I easily can for the power I'm looking for. Honestly what I want to do with the engine now is has a 400+ hp truck nothing crazy but decent.
