I am pretty sure there is no strict answer which is _best_ turbo for rst.
I think good would be some ball bearing GT series garrett. Like 2560R

what sort of power you trying to make, if under 250 stick with t3 then i'd move on to a gt as mentioned above like a gt28rs or gt2871

exactly karlos if your finding it a bit laggy then obviously u wanna go smaller,wouldnt say a stage 3 t3 as heard theyre laggy 2.

depends what you want and if you dont mind waiting for your power.
i have a standard t3 -31 actuator and mine boosts up just past 2k and holds power through the range.i will be changing my turbo to a T25 ball bearing though as i wanna go smaller and have even less lag.
bhp is mostly bullshit and or pub talk its about how fast your car gets to speed even if it has a million bhp
