need a turbo upgrade?

Well I just pulled the turbo off my buddies 04 psd, he wants to know which way he should. The housing is good but both the wheels are bent up. and the bearing is out. He is not sure if he should just get the replacement turbo or the center section from ford or get something a little better from somewhere else. Its a f-350 w/ 121000 miles. 6spd, 4x4, extended cab shortbed. It has the egr unhooked, 4 in. MBRP turbo back muffler delete, edge evolution. does anybody have any suggestions on which way he should go?

what are you talking about edge gone? vanes move? I was asking if there is an upgrade that is not going to break the bank but give him better spool up.

Edge will not be able to tune for a different turbo. The vanes on the turbo are designed to move..... It is a vvt turbo.... And yes a upgraded wheel is avalible. Do some searching all three topics
