im doin a .63 50 trim on my DD, just let the turbo warm up and cool down, and dont drive like an assclown 24/7 and its all good[8D] with the .63 you'll actually stay out of boost a bit more during normal driving, saving gas.

Either let the car idle or invest in a turbo timer

Turbo timers are overrated. 
Edit: So how come you favor journal bearings over ball-bearings? It seems like the T3/T4 and the GT2871R elim. series are neck-and-neck.

Gotcha. Even though they're the same price, I think I'm going to stick with the 50 trim; as opposed to the 57 trim. It might be a little too much for a 1.8L engine.

Brian, you're doing the same setup on your DD? What do you have done so far in preparation?

Are you going to assemble the custom TIP yourself? For me, it seems as if aftermarket ones are a bit pricey when you can do your own. What are you going to do for it? Perhaps I should look at doing something similar.

I am running a k04 w/pc-16 file and all the upgrades (minus exhaust but thats coming really soon) and my tranny is holding up fine. When i am WOT and shift I will wait till I am up over 5k RPM's and then shift, that way a lot of the torque is gone and it still shifts pretty smooth. Nothing major happened... yet.
