I do a ton of street driving though too, not necessarily big street drift sessions, just cruising around town with buddies blasting around etc...
I rode with simba a couple weekends ago in his car at gateway, and honestly, his 2863 didn't feel much different than my s15 turbo in regards to power or spool. Cars felt very very similar.
The original turbo I had planned on doing before reading about the GTX line was a .64 2871. And I'm familiar with those as I have driven plenty of cars with them. How does both of these GTX turbos compare to that, in regards to power, response, and spool time?

If your home track is gateway and you drive there a lot, you definitely want the 2867, not the 2863, unless you are happy running 235 in the back. The 2863 feels like a disco potato with a tiny more power. As to how the 2871 and s15 turbo feel to these new gtx turbos, in my opinion they are updated versions that are just good enough to obsolete the old ones, and you get a bit better spool, and a bit more boost than the old turbos. The cool thing about turbos in the gtx lineup for drifting, you can get a pretty big turbo and as long as you can stay in the rpm range the turbo works in, the boost is instant. That means a gtx2867 is far more responsive than a t25, you just have to be in the correct rpm range.
You can connect absolutely anything at gateway with a 2867. I hope you have access to e85 up there! If you do Martin at enthalpy can make you a dual map stock ecu for both pump and e85 : ). I set up dyno days and he flys in and tunes my drivers cars every few months, including stews 600whp jzx100 on e85.
Also, don't get too crazy, keep it simple. Lol, I always try to keep telling myself that.
