EPL and ASR are some other ones I can think of off the top of my head.

You can wait for Shiv's single turbo project

FYI, the wait list on some of these (RB and ASR) is quite long. I know RB does a core charge then refunds you when you turn in your old ones.

Also, I noticed your mod list doesn't have a Water/Methanol Injection system. To take full advantage of those upgraded turbos this is a must. Sure you can run stock boost and they will feel stronger, but to hit those big numbers >17psi you will need meth.

RBs have upgraded turbine wheels and wastegates unlike no other vendor. No brainer.

So typical of AR to tease lol c'mon guys, what's the deal on these? Larger clipped compressor upgrade? Turbine, wastegate touched?

I assume these AR's are going to be rebuilt stock turbos? Aren't they all just rebuilt stock turbos at this point? Or does anyone actually have bigger turbos yet? I would just like to not only have 18.5 psi @ 4000 but be able to keep most of that boost to about 6500... I guess Cobb AP wouldn't work except maybe on the pro/race tune (someday)?

The ASR units do use non-OEM Forge Wastegate ACTUATORS, but do not repair/replace the Wastegate INTERNALS that so often wear out.

Upgraded stockers are nice but upgraded wastegates are even better. If you consider one of the major flaws in our stock turbo design is our waste gates its obvious if your going to upgrade to do it once and to do it right. My .02.
