Best upgrade for T3 Super 60?

Hi, I am thinking of replacing my T3 with a better unit (since its leaking oil once again). I have the SF kit running on stock engine.

The two options that I can think of is either a T3/T4 or a GT30R dual ball bearing. I have read a lot of great stuff about the GT30R, "An excellent high-power bolt-on upgrade for any T3 turbo. More power and less lag at a higher efficiency than a T3/T4 hybrid turbo."

Does anyone here has any experience with it? What do you guys recommend. Also, would both of these turbos be a direct bolt-on for the SF kit? Thanks.

i would just rebuild your turbo or get a new super 60. I wouldn't go for a hybrid on our motors. Some ppl like the top end power of a hybrid, but i like my mid-range power

The GT30R is a very nice turbo.

If you are making 400hp.

I am just running 10 psi on my stock motor for now. Probably the most I'll go is 12 psi.
