I'll take a slightly larger turbo than recommended. keep my nice idle, good driveability characteristics, and make my power on boost and tuning. mpg stays decent with the large turbo mostly staying out of boost unless I WOT. but again, this is personal preference. some people like a nasty cam and a clanky motor to feel tough.it would apply to any air pumpthere is absolutely no reason why the normal off the shelf used stuff you see on craigslist wouldn't last 500,000 miles. unless you are buying low quality parts, that is another issue. but buying a s-trim kit versus a t-trim kit for your setup is not going to get you any more or any less reliability out of it. what we are discussing is what will be most effective for a setup...I can buy this ***INSERT BRAND NAME*** GT3576R turbo kit for $4900 from vendor X or there is an option to upgrade from the .82 A/R to the 1.02 A/R for $200. Is it worth it? Is it going to spool correctly and flow enough up top for my setup? Should I go with the V-band housing for another $200? How about the twin scroll or the anti-lag inlet?</blockquote>
