Get a GT28r, perfect for the D17, No lag, instant boost all the way to redline!

Go t-20! Max TQ at 1000 or so rpm
But seriously, take the cheaper one.
I think these turbos are the same, except one (gt30r) is desinged to get very high performance on smaller engines.

let me ask you this...

what are your plans with your car?
And
Are you on a budget?

If you buy the GT30r, you better have a sleeved block with some good pistons and rods, with a badass engine management. Otherwise, you are just wasting your money, and using a turbo that is too large. It will put you in a much less efficient range if you are going to only run 10 or 11 psi.

I would have to agree on this but i've seen t3/60 turboes with good tunes put down incredible numbers on low boost
