There are no problems with aftermarket turbos. There are problems with WHICH turbo you pick, what external peices you use in conjunction with the said turbo, and how it is tuned.
GT35R for the pwn. I just need a bunch of money, and a real standalone.

Item - Cost/hp = $/hp
======================
catback, $600/5 = $120
intake, $320/3 = $106
greddy turbo, $6000/100 = $60
PTP turbo, $9000/160 = $56
Of course, your numbers may vary depending on tuning, and how much you get the parts for. I'm under 5k for my greddy installed with all the extra bits (boost controller, gauges, etc) and I bet I can get 120 hp out of it = $42/hp.

Im no expert but $9,000 on the renesis? You end up in the mid 13s? Then what? Why not get a 20b and then build from there... Seems like there would much more room for growth!!!!!

Plus, I'd not feel very safe knowing that the bottle can explode... I vividly remember of some pictures I saw a while ago where the bottle heater was left on or something and the resulting detonation opened up even the garage door, let alone the car it was installed in
