Edit - just watch this. Seriously.
So it looks like a lot of people are getting fueling in place and probably ready to start seriously weighing turbo upgrades (I know I am). I think
SC_B5X official HPFP options thread was really nice and organized and would be nice to do one like that for turbo options.
This post is a work in progress, adding info as I receive it. Post your suggestions and info and I'll add it in. I'm using info I've pulled from websites and other threads here so if you disagree with any of the data points, shout it out and let's figure out what it should be.
