Why not the HTA3582 as we were shoutboxing about it originally? The HTA82 would have some similar spool to a black, probably a few hundred rpms like you said you'd be ok with and would make more power over the black. Seems logical for an initial upgrade from the black.

Then if you truly get bored you could go HTA86 later.

But at the same time I've seen a lot of graphs where the 86 spools almost the exact same as the 82, so with that I would likely just go for the big one.

The more I think about it the more I would like to give the black another chance. But I'm still not 100%, it's going to rely heavily on FP's month-out-of-warranty price for a rebuild and their turn around time.

It all depends on what is damaged and needs replacing but realistically I think its ~$600 and about two weeks to fix.

The one thing I will always be careful about with the RED and BLACK FP turbos is that I run them to the edge so I will be vigilant to check for boost leaks. I do not want to overrun the turbo at these boost levels and shaft speeds.
