China 78/75 is the best bang for buck.

Otherwise pt76/75

Please post a build thread when you do it. I wanna put a 6.0 with a turbo in the wife's avalanche, so I'm always looking for actual results

The 78/75 sounds good. Anything close to a Garrett GT4202 spec.

S400 is also good. Depends on power goals but the 7875 and 7675 type stuff make good power. 600-700 whp
