Not in any particular order.

To4e
To4s
Gt35/40
RX6

Any of the above will give you what you want, do a search under these part # and you will find heaps of data, more than you can handle, but take your time and do some reading

GT-35/40, hands down. The T78 starts to come on big at 5800RPM ish. Meanwhile the GT-35/40 has pulled 2 cars away already! Now, if you have a Pineapple buillt that can handle higher RPM....that T78 will pull kick **** up to redline! It might make up some of the lead....but which car would you want to be in?

turbo lag is a drag.... any thoughts on xs enginerring t04s looks like a decent kit with everything in it for good cost.. im sure the gt35/40 would destroy it though

I think it spools a tad quicker than the GT-35/40, and tops out quicker, but it's a kick to drive around. On a solid engine...it can still put down some rubber! I tuned one that was a dream. I would consider it if it weren't for certain friends that I have to keep up with

Since you're in that same state as Rob @ Pineapple, you should call him and get a quote. On that foundation, good things can be built!

what do you mean the 35/40 will already pulled 2 cars away? I dont think so 1, maybe if it was from dead stop or on a road track. But on the street I dont think so.im not hating or anything just expressing my feeling about it. there both very nice turbos though.

I would think RX6 considering it has such good spool up.

Great spool-up on a stock engine. I would not hesitate for stock engine and target of only 400ish RWHP. Would not be unhappy with this combination on a (round) track car.

But if you're engine is breathing free, get something with more lungs like a T04s, or for more potential, GT-35/40!

The RX6 is a complete ripoff since APexi raised their pricing on that kit. Most places sell it for $4k. Go with a GT35/40 or the XS T04S or T04E. You get better bang for the buck.

Jason is right. Rx6 is way too expensive considering that the t04s spools just as fast and is capable of more hp and is less expensive.
