would you be getting it protuned? I'd say go EWG first because its cheaper. Then when you're ready go bigger turbo like 18 or 20g. Going the VF route is really only good when you autocross or just want a quick DD, if you are going to drag race (which it seems you do, hence the gear comment) go with the td05-20G for a turbo. Since those are more expensive, get the EWG now. It beneficial even on the stock turbo.
