TE05 Vs change T3 to .36 AR? 1988 900TC Questions....

From what I am told: (please read to bottom for the questions)
1)Mitsubishi will cost me $762 and does not hook up directly to my car. I am told I will need to adapt oil and water channels.
2) I can switch the exhaust side of the turbo to a .36A/R from the stock .48 to get a faster spool up. That will cost me $199.
3) Simon S suggests a T3/60 which would cost me $560.
I drive in NYC, am looking for better mid range, but I occassionally drive long distances and like to get on the gas peddle. I also like to accellerate like heck to get onto the highway, shifting to the next gear at 6400RPM(just before the cut-out).
The questions:
Is it best to get the Mitsu turbo? Do I need to struggle to change the water and oil attachments with the Mistu turbo?
Is it best to get the .36A/R exhaust side of the turbo? What are the downsides? Will I have problems with overboost, underboost, overly restricted exhaust, Too hot air hitting the intercooler? Has anyone used one? I am planning no-matter what to install the JT downpipe I already posess behind any of the 3 options I choose.
Is the Garret T3/60 best? What are its pros and cons?
TIA!!!
