There may be other modern turbos that I could use ?

the questions are what turbo, what size, internal or external wastegate, and how far I can push the engine but keep it reliable.
Im looking to try and find a happy medium where I can run more power by changing turbos but keep it reliable and safe at the same time. I would rather get a smaller power gain but be safe than a big gain with the fear it's going to go bang at any point. If that makes sense.

On a 200 block motor I ran 472 hp with standard head bolts without issues, some of these modern turbos might fit internal gate with just a mod to downpipe needed

Mark Shead will know what will fit, or a gt30 maybe
