Ill line up with you sometime Acme. 16g turbo is not a top-end turbo. It is better for every day driving fast spool up and autocrossing. If you want a top end turbo you will need to go with a 20g t3t4 or a Frank stage 3 or more.
You wont loose traction with these turbos in second unless you do some major head work.
