But the kit(up pipe, downpipe, wastegate, install etc....) plus new turbo will get pretty pricey. At least with the Hydra you wont have any idle issues and tuning should be pretty straight forward. I went with the GT3076 and .63a/r hotside (against mike's wishes) for the better response but reduced top end. I still managed to eek out 340whp with full spool about 3800rpm's. If you're giving up on auto-x this may be an option....just depends how much more money and work you want to put into it. In my opinion at least you have all the supporting mods to run any turbo you want.

Yeah, the only reason I was thinking Green vs. the TD06-20G was because of the option to run the larger inlet... I'm currently 3" all the way to the inlet hose where it pinches down to stock diameter for the TD05-20G that's on there that needs to be replaced.
The cost of the rotated turbo kit is pretty high. I've got an Nvidia turbo-back, so I'm not sure if the cat-back section would bolt to the Perrin down-pipe that comes with the rotated kit. The best move would probably be to sell all my intake and exhaust bits to help cover the cost of the Perrin GT30R rotated kit, then just weld a straight pipe cat-back w/ a SuperTrap for Laguna Seca noise control... or just do what MikeW did on the GST shop car, and have the exhaust exit under the car w/ a down-turn (and never go off into the shrubs to avoid starting a fire).
And Cory, all I'd need is the solvent tank... that should be plenty to get the bits of bearings out of the oil pan.
