KKK or Air Research (Garrett)

Which turbo fo you guys prefer? My turbo failed an I have the opportunity to purchase both brands. I want to run my boost at 12.5 PSI. simpler=better!

Any help would be appreciated

KKK spools faster.

Both will provide 12.5 lbs of boost but the KKK will spool up faster.

The garret is also a little more efficient and less restrictive in the exhaust.
