Which turbo is best?

Just my two cents here, but I'd try to find one with about a .7-.8 A/R, ball bearing and (external) wastegate. Ball bearing turbos are more durable than journal bearings. That turbo is a fairly good size for street driving, though. It should spool up nice and quick. The only thing that's stopping me from liking it is the internal wastegate and not knowing who makes it.

- Other than that, for the horsepower you're wanting, it should do just fine.
