second option
 

and if my stage 3 bnr doest satisfy me what are my other options? Im coming from a old stock s4turbo and jumping to stage 3 bnr. will i be more than happy?

With supporting mods. I would say yes.

Im currently at 11psi with a s4 turbo...its quick, but nothing that makes real power.

Going with a bnr -3 for next season.

Well it depends what your power goals are and how early you want the boost. If you aren't happy with a hybrid turbo, go with a GT35 series or something.

like the absence said, all depends on what ur power goals are.

the hot side is usually too small and has a rather small internal waste gate (even the ported ones). huge draw backs if you want to make good numbers safely.
