Which turbo should i get

Ok guys i have decided to keep my evo VIII i was selling her. So i figure time to up grade the turbo. I am looking for a turbo that will be good for a kick *** weekend DD sometime at the track for drag. I would like spool to be at around 4000-5000RPM. I only really want to hit around 430-500whp. I have been thinking of geting the ETS 58trim, Buschur 30R, Buschur HTA 35R, Green with meth. Which one of these setups would u recomend for me. I also am going to use stock block for now but plan on up gradeing down the road.

BR 30R! Personally, I'm going with a cast mani 3065....but I'm waiting for the HTA3065

HTA35R would probably make you reaaaaaaaal happy too. Actually, so would the ETS kit from what I have read lol I think you need to narrow down a bit more of what you want to do. Are you gonna build the top/bottom end? Are you gonna do intake/TB porting? Do you want spool or top end? Are you gonna run pump, pump +meth, E85, C16? Do you want a flash or piggyback or standalone ECU?

I think when you decide how far you want to take supporting mods, the turbo dilema will answer itself!

Well i would like to do it on pump. But the green i know i would have to use meth. I am just going to get a flash and i plan on later down the road doing a BR stage 3short block not sure yet if i am going with the 2.0 or 2.3 but leaning toward the 2.3 for faster spool and maybe the stage 3 cylinder head also. Right now i have quick spool i love it but i want to be able to open her up more on the high way so i figure up top would be better for me.

Does any one know the spool on the hta 35R i know the spool on the 35R is around 4800. I really like the reviews on the 35R but the ETS is geting good review on it too and it is a bit cheaper. So any more input i want to have good Tourq down low but still be able to open her up on the highway.

If the hta 3065 should ever become a reality I think this would be an awesome setup. I'm considering switching from a green to this depending on the results.
