Hard to spec a turbo without details of your setup. What is wrong with your magnum turbo?

Those borgs aren't that high. Nonnie selman just put the 75/83 on his truck and he said he only paid 800 ish for his snail. I wouldn't think the next size bigger turbine would be much if any more cash. Gotta look at the right vendors. Reason why I said go for the bigger turbine is because of your cubes and nonnie said his 83mm spools very fast on his 6.0

That sx3 is a different series of turbo, not the same as the big rig s400s. They're a little more expensive.

I have this one...its badass...

It sounds like your oil drain situation is inadequate, so even if you get a new turbo, it will do the same thing.
