Ready to race!
To me it really just depends on your goals and how you drive.
If you like more low-end torque and instant spool, the TTE420 is going to do that better. If you like more top-end power, a GT/GTX turbo is going to do that better.
Turbos like the TTE420 and the various Loba Motorsport K04 based turbos tend to shake things up a bit when compared to a GT/GTX turbo because they're able to generate and hold more boost up top. You then have a turbo that generates significant torque down low to get you out of the hole, but also doesn't fade off when you hit a long straight. It's still not going to have the same top-end as a GT/GTX turbo, but it does give you more headroom than a normal K04.
Personally, I prefer the huge wall of torque that you get down low with the modified K04 turbos. With the proper ability to put that power down you have the best possible setup for the track or your favorite twisty backroads. For FWD cars I highly recommend getting a limited slip differential with one of these hybrid turbos, especially if you're like me and you love launching the crap out of your car. Of course a 4motion swap isn't too horribly difficult either IMHO if you can spare the cash .
