they say they're about the same on spool up but the upgraded one can put out more boost and more HP, i'm sure there are more technical differences but i dont know what.

The GT is Garrett's new turbo. They took the T series and updated it to this decade.....

Which is why it is so expensive. It really is a nice piece of work, but not worth the price for turbo'ing a D17...

actually, i ran the 13.6 with a .42 intake and .48 exhaust. When i updated to the .60 intake, i experienced more rapid spoolup, and more overall torque (seat of the pants feeling).
