Good turbos?

If I had 5k to spend. what would be my options for a good strong reliable turbo kit? I'd install myself but I have a 12 ss LT headers cold air intake and no resonstors no cats and tuned by dyno steve. So what would I need to do on top of the turbo kit

Closest your going to get to a turbo kit with 5 grand is a huron turbo single kit. It is going to add up to more after you take care of fueling, heat wrap stuff, and misc gauges boost controllers etc...

You will be getting rid of your current headers and intake as the kit is going to include all those things used to operate a kit.

If I had 5 grand and your mods I would opt for a LSA blower kit from adm. Oem fit and finish and super clean installs.

I have a single turbo huron kit. Fantastic kit, but 5 grand aint going to cut it.

Damn well how much does a good turbo kit go for ? And which one would be bigger gains.
Turbo or supercharger/lsa blower ?

Contact some vendors, lots of times you can get a better deal than what's advertised. As for which will give you more power, hands down a turbo kit, but you'll need supporting mods. If your tapped out at 5k LSA is a good option for you.
