Nice thread. It's really cool to see another option for turbos in the TD04 class (or turbos in general). I wouldn't touch them until someone else had just because the 15Gs is tried and true and the 13T is cheap and has some good results finally (Took you bitches like years...

)
With that said, where did this 17PSI > race gas theory come up? With Timing controllers/FMIC/Injection (propane/alky/water)/etc.. being more and more popular, you can throw that theory out. Personally, I'd go with 13T because of the ability to expand past typical pump gas boost #s.
I've never heard of a guy on 3SI going: Man I wish I went with the smaller turbos. Well, except Innovator but he was/is/always will be a retard.
