Turbo/exhaust mani for my car

I am starting to dive in to figuring out which turbo and exhaust manifold I am going to buy. I was going to make an exhaust manifold and still may, but time is tight right now. Price isn't a major concern, but cheaper is always better.

So far I am looking at a Shearer tubular manifold with Vband output to a 6262 BB in the ported S housing. The 6262 is a little bigger than I really need, I am only looking for 500 whp at DB. I doubt the spool of the 5862 would be much different though and their smaller exhaust wheels are not billet as far as I have seen. If the 5858 was a billet exhaust wheel I would probably go for that.

I am gearing my car to be a near daily driver and an all around car. I love a spool below 4k, but I should be around 4200 with this setup I think. Car is an 8.8:1 2.4, big cams, will have a SMIM, big IC and 3" IC piping, 3.5" exhaust running E85.

I have been looking at the Borg Warner turbos a bit too, but am leaning towards the 6262.
