The GT30-10 is in the neighborhood of a 16G. Spools at about 2800, should make in the 280-300hp ATW range.

The turbo I'm planning on going with is a TD06-20G. Should spool around 3000-3200 and make about 330-350 awhp... the only problem is the packaging doesn't lend itself to bolt-on application. Right now there are two places that are modifying housings to get it to fit, but at $1600 + a huge waiting list, I'm gonna wait to see if Gruppe-S's new packaging comes through. They're thinking $1000 for the turbo, and it'll be an actual bolt-on w/o modifying anything.

But for now the GT30-10 should be competative since everyone else scrapped their plans for new turbos in favor of a race tire budget. *phew!*
