Default Trying to decide on a turbo

I have been doing some research and I am not sure what to go with. I am getting a KBracing setup, do i go with the MP T76, or i have also been recommended more than once, a BW s400-75 in a T4 with a 1.25ar. The truck is a 04 ss stock LQ9, looking to run about 10psi, I do tow a boat that weighs 3,000lbs on the weekends. I would like a turbo with some lag since I do not want to be in boost towing the trailer 75mph on flat ground. I also would like a turbo that will give me room to grow as I mod.

skip the mp76,, i made that mistake, back pressure was way to high at 10-12 psi, recently switched to a pt-88 which some have made 900whp with.

Thanks for the input, after talking with TJ at Baker and a couple others I have decided to go with the S472 with a 1.25ar

TJ knows his stuff, and he knows turbos BETTER
keep us posted.

I think it would be cheaper to run the T6 frame turbo than the t4 one??

yeah it cost 200 extra to get it in a t4 housing. It should run good i am only going to run probably 7 pounds until i get a 80e in it. I am hoping for at least 450rwhp
