Turbo lottery

I will be working for a turbo shop and will have a choice of turbo's for my 2001. I thought about just replacing the cartridge but then thought of changing the exhaust housing A/R also . I don't know if i can get the ball bearing one but I won't be going big injectors I just want an efficient breather with the mods I have which are the usual posted on the site. I still have to do the Hutch mod. Any recommendations?

What are your turbo choices? If you're sticking with a bushing type turbo, a bigger exhaust housing would help to reduce backpressure. But, if you can get a BB turbo, they typically have less resistance, resulting in less backpressure than a bushing type turbo that the stock one is, so there's no need to change the exhaust housing on a BB turbo.
