Those turbos you describe are fragile lag pigs. Besides once you get it mounted up you'll have probably lost all the hair off of your head.

I put on a SB, works great. Obviously laggy, but once it lights it's all kinds of fun. Maybe a SPS62 or SPS66?

If I was buyin a new turbo I dont know if I would get the SPS 66, may as well just get the SB IMO. I dont think the lag would be much differant between the two and you should get better performance out of the SB.

I hear that. From what I understand the differences are miniscule, right?
