Alot of turbo talk lately. Just curious, for those who have been there/done that, what turbo did you pick, why, and if your project is on the road, how do you like it?

IHI off of Subaru 1.8L. Chosen because readily available, inexpensive, and very close displacement match with my 1.7. I wanted to be sure not to use an oversised turbo because I autocross and want boost as low in the rpm range as possible. From rolling idle I can apply throttle and boost begins to build by 2,000rpm. (takes to about 3,000-3,500 to reach 8psi). It is a responsive turbo - I can blip the throttle a few times and have boost before I even drop the clutch.
