I'm just trying to get to about 350whp, I've done the supporting mods already. (internally and externally)

Hi mate,
you say internal mods, you have forged internals?
As for the mamba turbo, grab this one as it already has the exhaust housing machined for the larger turbine wheel, the link you provided above would require you to machine the exhaust housing out yourself which ends up being way more expensive than just buying the turbo in the link below.

What i would also suggest is upgrading the Compressor wheel on this Mambatek Turbo to the one i linked in page 1 of this thread, reason being is the compressor wheel is smaller than the wheels used on the PS2 stage 2, Mossleman Stage 1 turbos (However the Turbine wheel whilst it has the same dimensions as the PS2 it has less blades which allows the turbo to flow more air, it will be slightly more laggy than the PS2 but around 200-300RPM at most, but it allows you to run peak boost all the way to 7K rpm. Less Back Pressure the better hence why i recommend the 9 Blade Turbine wheel over the 11 Blade Pure Turbos offer.
The advantage this Mambatek turbo has is the price of the turbo with the machined turbine housing, its substantially cheaper than the PS2 Turbo and even after the cost of machining the compressor cover and installing a larger wheel its still cheaper than the PS2 turbo.
You may need to get in contact with Mamba regarding the Bearings of this turbo i would assume Mambatek have upgraded them to the higher performance bearing kit.
However should you need it the link to the Upgraded thrust bearing kit is below
