I have the Aero and I can assure you G–ran is exactly right when he says the larger Aero turbo takes a very long time to spin up. Once it does spin up, you have vast amounts of power, but that's long after you *wanted* the power. Unless you're running steady-state on a dyno, or climbing long hills, you will probably find quick-response power is much more important than high-rpm power. A chipped non-Aero, giving nearly as much rated HP without the huge turbo lag of the Aero, sounds like the best of both worlds to me. Gary
