   "Whatever you vividly imagine, Ardently desire, Sincerely believe in, Enthusiastically act upon, Must inevitably come to pass".
How much boost are you running now?  Are you able to run full throttle, or are you having to limit throttle to limit boost? 
 
At full throttle I can spike as high as 9psi, but it will maintain 7psi. Maybe tomorrow when above 10K I may try my actuator bleed valve to increase the boost a little.
   
 
 Since the Turbonetics unit is far superior for our needs, choosing it is really a no-brainer.    
 
 My main concern with using an aftermarket turbo is the oil return. The stock TG uses gravity, but I'd expect an aftermarket installation to be mounted a little low for this, requiring a scavenge pump......   yet more weight & complexity
