Want to point out that I'm just about to hit 90k miles.

Did full boltons at I think 54k miles +or-
The factory JB turbo never once let me down!
I never went past 3k miles in oil changes

I think I'm gonna try the 18k ported with a safe DD tune :-)

That sounds like a solid plan but sell the FP. Do what you want but I know from experience sitting on quality parts for "backup" is a waste. That green is in demand and you can get good money for it now.

Not sure where you are getting better boost response numbers from. The MHI is one of the quickest spooling turbos at this flow rate.

Nice choice on the MHI. I just upgraded to an MHI 18k last week and I'm loving it.
