Spool will depend on which turbos you're comparing. 16g vs. a GT28 with the big housing or larger? MHI all the way. 20g vs. the GT28 with the .63 housing? GT28. Ball bearing turbos like the Garretts will spool faster than a similarly sized journal bearing turbo like the MHIs.

Well to entertain this thread I would pick FI kit if money wasnt an option.

Gtm kit has limits. FI kit doesn't. Just comes with a price tag.

To help this and other threads out, if I get time this week I will put together in the noob thread (http://www.the370z.com/forced-induct...ion-noobs.html) a spreadsheet comparing the kits.

What it will probably look like:
GTM Garrett v F.I. v Greddy v GTM MHI - TT group
GTM v Stillen - SC Group
BP v VIS - T group

Ball bearing doesn't have a huge affect on initial spool. Transient response and turbo life is where BB shines.

Spool has more to do with turbine housing and wheel size. Have you seen how tiny MHI turbine housings are for 16g's and 20g's?

If by initial spool you mean boost threshold, you're correct. A 20g isn't really that small, although I haven't looked at the specific flavor of wheel they're using. The Greddy kit uses 20gs as well, and people haven't seemed to complain about boost tapering to redline.
