im very pleased with the performance of mine....lots & lots more top end without sacraficing any low end...in fact my boost came on a few hundred rpm's faster with the new turbo... depending on your requirements its about as good a bang for the buck you'll find

I also remeber seeing that iON performance is making a new upgrade for the stock turbo. Sounded like a pretty good deal as well, might be worth checking into.-James
Edit: I just did a little more reading on it. Cost is $799 plus core so it's a bit more than the FP but It uses only the stock exhaust housing and Wastegateand compressor housing, the rest is replaced, machined etc completely reworked by hand so they say. They were comparing it to the VF-30 with a faster spool.

iirc, the products that will be release in January are Garrett conversion kits. You can always send an stock turbo to have it rebuilt.

I beleive Adam at Z1 (www.z1auto.com) has a good porting guy. I think he was charging $100-150 or so. He will match the turbine housing to the uppipe as I recall.
Adam is very good to deal with. Even though I've only dealt with him for ordering a couple of items, he has been very responsive and helpful all the time.
