Turbo mod help

Looking to replace my stock turbo but don't know what to get. What is my best option to make a bit of power and have some fun. Car is not a daily.
Looking for a stock frame turbo like a fp black

List of mods are
Ams Intercooler
Ets short route Intercooler piping
Small battery kit
Walbaro fuel pump
Stm catch can
Precision 880 injectors
Aem fuel rail
Hks 272 cams
hks cam gears
Arp head studs
Gsc lifters
Ar design hood dump
Full race manifold
3 inch greddy turbo back exhaust
Stock motor besides list above.

What's the best stock frame turbo for this kind of setup

Me personally, biggest I would go is red. With the new stainless single scroll housing, it will make big power but not hit full boost until 4800-5k.

I have an old mhi housing red. Mods were almost exactly like yours, except I had kelford 272 cams. They're more aggressive but I made 409 on a mustang dyno. Car was a blast. Still is, but now on e85.

I got a black single scroll with s3 cams on a stock block. I hit 29 psi right at 5000 rpm. So a red should do better than 4800-5000rpm. Also forced performance has the MHI housings agin so you can get new one instead of trying to find a used one. I been thinking about sending mine back to get a mhi housing

What does everyone think about a hta green with the mhi housing cuz I can't find a red. I found a 5 year old red on eBay never ran for 1200 bucks. What choice would you guys make. The new green or old school red
