All depends on what your budget is and what you would like to achieve.

Then you don't necessarily need to upgrade turbo. Look at getting software done and installing a front mount intercooler. If you want to upgrade turbo but don't want to go Big turbo you can upgrade to either a GTB1752 or GTB1756.

Black Friday is not too far away, just do a decat and a remap first and then decide if you want to change the turbo as you will probably have to do the intercooler also.
No need to pay thousands from middlemen selling these inported turbo's, you can buy gtb17's locally at much better prices.
