Turbo Recommendation

A year ago I added a turbo to my 3.2 carrera along with a Megasquirt EFI (still 9.5:1 CR). It runs great, but I don't get full boost (.6 BAR for me) until 4100 RPM. It has an old T3/T04E with a 60 trim compressor and a Stage 3 turbine (.63 A/R). The oil seals have started to leak some, pushing me to finally get something new. I want something that will spool up sooner. I hear of guys getting good boost by 3K and would like to be one of them.

I also have a hard time holding .6 BAR. It gets there, but in most gears will taper off to .5 BAR. I am thinking that my T04E just isn't producing enough flow. I don't think it is doing what it used to for me.

I have done some research and it seems the GT3076R is a good fit. I redline at 6500 and care more about a quick spool than I do losing a bit of the top end, if that matters.

I have done some research here, but I would love to hear what has worked for you guys and what you think may best fit me goals here.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
