Question Which turbo & manifold for towing. Need to bye ASAP

I am not sure which turbo to get . I was thinking in the lines of a II silver 62/74/14, Super Phat Shaft 62/71/?, or HTT SS 62/71/13. Which one of these turbos is the best bang for the buck? As for the exhaust manifold: ATS or BDS? I will also be ordering a Smarty programmer and a AirDog 150.
Where can I bye these parts for a good price or get a military discount. I need to get this parts ASAP.

The Silver 62 is awesome. Mine spools instantly with my current mods, even faster than the stocker. I attribute a lot of the spooling characteristics of the faster spool to the ATS manifold I have it on. I had the Silver on the stock manifold for a while and the amount of lag was noticeably more.

The best bang for the buck would definitely be the SPS 62/14. It will spool fast and support good power up to around 550 and tow wonderfully for a single.

Just put a HTT 62/71/13ss on my truck. My suggestion to you is to upgrade your tranny first. At this time my auto hates me. But that will be short lived. Anyho this turbo is a little laggy taking off but once up to speed it is fine and controls EGT's quit well. You may want to get the HTT 62/65/13ss. No surging issues either.

What are you doing with the truck? This really is something that needs to be asked before anyone can reccomend a turbo for your truck. With the weight that you are towing really twins are going to be the best overall choice. If they arent an option then a good towing single with the potential to upgrade to twins is something worth looking at.
