Default Turbo durability AGP vs BW

As title states. I have a 6.0 w/ ls3 heads looking to add a quick spooling non max effort turbo for a weekend warrior and occasional HPDE events. In terms of Durability/longevity… any reviews on agp turbos long term use vs BW. In particular I was looking at the agp 68/68 .96 ar vs BW s364.5/68 sxe .88 ar. Which would you go with for a broad 550whp power band? Clutch is rated at 700whp so that’s the ultimate limiting factor. Thanks.

@rel3rd can attest how well those turbos work on a 6.0L combo.

I've had AGP's 57/57s on my car for about 5-6 years now without being rebuilt. They are solid. I have their 62/62s sitting in a box waiting to be put on.

As far as your application im sure guys are going to say 1 one those turbos you listed are going to be too small for a 6.0.

absolutely!! rel3rd was killing it with 7875 on a 6L . I'm running a gen1 cast 7875 on a 6L and near your max goal on pump 91. I would not go any smaller , if anything slower boost building would be better for traction on my set up. As far as durability, I'm at 23k miles no signs of giving up yet, no excess movement in the bearing , no complaints
