Default Turbo selection help

Hey guys, I have the option to buy a super 53 or a K27/8, I'm currently running a 26/8, mostly street car, looking for close to same spool as the 26/8, but at about 325-350hp, what turbo would be better for this? I can't find much about the super 53, and the info I get on the K27/8 is both good and bad. Any ideas would be great.

Yea, sorry I am not very budget conscious, but Alberts prices can't be beat and if you don't want DBB like me, it is dirt cheap.

I have run 9 de days and a few auto crosses this summer with the super53 installed in May.I'm quite happy with it. On the open road and my bigger track(Mosport) it is a monster.It's pretty much my only mod and I am hunting down and picking off boxster s and cayman s(not new ones but darn close).I run neck and neck with my buddies 2003 Carrera on the back straight. As far as I know it's my only mod other than a 3 inch aluminum rad and all the silicone hoses to keep everything running cool.Hope this helps.Cheers.
