Well guys, it is about that time to upgrade the turbo system on my GS-T. Four years ago I started with a ported & clipped 14B and stock SMIC with bolt-ons. Then I moved to a td06 18G, 660s and a 2GMAS. Before I even really maxed that out I moved to a PTE SCM32 (54 trim) and a dejontool super-sidemount and 264/64 cams. This turbo is not the best flowing for pump gas, it' actually a little less effecient than a standard 50 trim so I wouldn't really suggest this turbo but it did net me 309whp on 20psi and pump gas, I don't think that is really that bad.
But anyways, now I have replaced the Dejontool super-sidemount with a RNR streetcore FMIC (excellent company BTW, the R&D into their products is top notch, patience for the shipping the pieces are worth the time) and now that I have done that, switched to a 255 pump and added 780cc injectors: It's time for a new turbo.
I want something that makes good power on pump gas right in the low 20s but will occasionally be brought to the track for 26psi and 110octane. Slowboy has the G60 on sale for $699. It's a renamed PTE 60trim, how about that? Or I was looking at an FP GReen and finally a GT30R. If the other turbos are caparable then I'd like to get one of the cheaper ones (60trim and FP Green). Your input?

All of the choices you have listed will work just fine in your application. My personal choice would have been GT30R but your final decision should base on which fits your financial situation best.
Who at RRE said this anyway? I was under the impression everyone at RRE was too busy to visit sites like ours. Sounds like we'll have to have Collier go over and slap someone around.
