Garrett turbo, standard st205 ecu?, GT2860RS has arrived. Options

[delusionz]

It's looking more and more like I've blown another CT turbo, and I've had enough

So I have some coin to spend on a new turbo, but not enough for an ECU (cost more than the turbo).

What can I run with basic fuel mods?

GT2860 - Should be a close match to an upgraded CT20b, Shouldn't have to worry about dangerous leaning?

GT2871 - Direct replacement for GT2860, Flows more air than my fuel system can provide, but a good investment for later on when I can afford the ECU

GT2876 - We're already talking high power turbos, why not go straight to the best compressor in the T28 series?

I definitely want Ball Bearing, and I need to run safe boost on stock ECU (for now)

Suggestions?

I'm looking to play stock,400WHP sounds nice but i was happy with just the factory 250 engine hp (it's the spoolup and torque that counts for me). I just don't want to be going thru turbos anymore, unwilling to try my luck on a 3rd CT.

I don't really understand why X volume and X amount of air can be a different pressure depending on whats pushing it in, I mean it's not like you change your turbo and all of a sudden your head flows better? But apparently X psi is different air mass from a T28 or any other turbo than a CT.

So I plan to run 12psi which is the included actuator pressure for the GT2860RS and keep an eye on the AFRs.
