Question Which turbo and why

I'm going to be pulling my motor this winter and will be re-doing a lot of things in hope for 400+ whp out of E-85 out of my 1.6L. And I'm going to switch up my turbo, but stuck on two. Which one would you choose and why? Granted this isn't an auto cross car, keep that in mind.


1. Borg Warner S259 extended tip (4" compressor side)
2. 50 Trim DBB (4" compressor side upgrade)

Now I know the 50 Trim is the "king of pump gas" and has made over 500 whp. But I've heard a lot of great things about the Borg Warner turbos...

Thanks a lot for the help in advance.
