Yet another turbo thread...

Hey guys, Im on the quest for just the right turbo for me. So far i have all mods in my sig below, and the plan is to be adding industrial injections 120 hp sticks and a phat shaft 62 along with head studs and exhaust mani all in one shot.
My question is weather to go with 12 or 14 cm exhaust side. I know the goods and bads of both, Just lookin for second opinions mostly. I tow between 4 and 14k a few days a week all around town stop and go as well as plow snow with a 9' 2" V in the winter and im curious as to what would be better.
Quicker spool for tow and plowin but chance it wont push well in higher rpm and too high of egt? (12)
Or slower spool resulting in more smoke while pulling around town, But pushing better at higher rpm and lower egts. (14) What do you all think?

Well if your not set on getting a phat shaft, then i would look into HTT's turbos with their 13ss exhaust housing, spools faster than a 12 but cools better than a 14 best of both worlds

I like my PS62 with the 12. I don't tow often, but I have grossed 17,500 through the mountains in Utah and never had any EGT issue that were not EASILY controllable.

I think if I did it again I would buy the exact same turbo...might not be the best, but real hard to beat for the money.

I did look into the HTT's and liked what i saw but the guys an I.I. got me pretty sure about the phat shaft. And they'll give me a great deal on it all for gettin the sticks head studs and exhaust mani with phat shaft.
Wow the 12 kept up with egt's here? That was my biggest concern. Johnx did you have all in your sig when you pulled that gross weight? The thing thats worrying me is the 120hp sticks with the 12cm.
