is the FP green a good choice for me?

I'm working on an auto-x/rally-x build for my 11 RA and was looking at the FP green. from what I can tell it has the quickest spool of the FP turbos which makes it the most appealing to me from the outside looking in. I'm looking to make 450 AWHP at the most, so i don't need an exceptionally big turbo. I am all for FP turbos because of the great reputation they have, but wanted to see if any of you guys could share any knowledge you might have.

Get a red. More efficient since you won't be pushing it as hard plus gives you room to grow a little.

why not just run more boost with the stock turbo, then you won't have to worry about the lag of a larger turbo...i've seen brand new FP turbos chew the housing, but for the most part they are very popular...if you're not sure, look at the compressor maps, bigger turbo is not always better...

the stock turbo isn't an option for me. i'm running in the street prerpared category and have to compete against the evo x and sti among others. i'm looking to be making around 375-400 awhp when my build is complete and am gonna need at least a stock evo X turbo to be competitive. if i took off the test pipe and put the cat back on i could run a street touring class but it isn't worth it for me to do that
