But sometimes the turbo always spooling when you are just trying to drive normal gets annoying.

Some people have to take off quick from every stoplight, hit it on every on ramp and drive like a maniac weaving in and out of traffic on the freeway. If that is your driving style then get a 16G. If you can control yourself, only use the power when you need it, and know to downshift into the right gear when you want to go fast, then maybe get a big turbo.
True^lol i think that why most people go the 16g itz really fun when spooling up. great for quick take off so..this is why i keep a 16g on hand as a back up turbo.
