I think most people for that kind of money go to a Garrett GTP38R.
It's a ball bearing turbo so it spools faster. I've known a few guys that run the 38R and none with the Big Bad Woof turbo. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

I drove a truck with a version of the Big Bad Woof. It's a super laggy turbo that takes forever to spool up. You'll be better off to skip it entirely.

38R is a ball bearing turbo, Wolf is not.
Few other differences in the inducer size, map, spoolup, etc. 38R is a much better turbo. Has a quicker spool time down low, and will move more air on the top end too.

I run the 38R in my truck, and I use my truck to tow, drag race, offroad, and everything else. So far mine has worked flawlessly.
