The way out is through

And while I'm rambling and replying to myself...

I need a new turbo. Since I'm giving up on autocross, I think the 8cm TD06-20G would be the best thing to go with without having to change any of my intake stuff. Would I see a big benefit going with something larger? Perhaps a Green and a Perrin 3" inlet hose? Or bigger yet with a rotated kit (though the cost seems pretty astronomical especially since I'll have to replace my exhaust)?

I was pretty happy with the power output of the previous turbo, but I'd like to shift the band towards the top-end since I'm not running autocross competitively anymore. And a bigger turbo running less boost should be more efficient at this altitude, meaning less heat in the intake, at the same power levels.
