Default New Turbo?

IM posting theis for my brother Inlaw...

i have a 04 gmc lb7. it has a s&b intake, 4" mbrp exhaust, and the edge juice with attitude. 6"in lift on 325 70 18's. my turbo went out and we have it pulled now im looking into getting a aftermarket turbo to put in the truck. i want alittle more power but want a reliable truck still. i pull my trailer and a jeep so i still need it to be a good turbo for pulling and a daily driver. Any suggestions.

now i know he's been looking at the SUper bee, and the arora 3000, and the 4000. ill relay any info to him he's got some cash to get one just wanto to know what one. hes not looking for anything crazy just something better for $3,000 thanks form the help guys.

o thats another one he was looking at. i know he wants a decent spooling turbo. not looking for 1000hp. and plans on upgrading the tranny before to long but i highly doubt he will touch inside the motor at all.

Ditch the edge, get a DSP5 EFILive tune from some one like Rob at ATP (that's what I have on my lbz) and at most a cheata turbo. Stock tranny won't even hold what the stock turbo and fuel system will make.
