Blaasts IHI RHB5 Turbo?

http://www.blaastperformance.com/ind...p=ihi-VJ-51t21

i know in stock form, the IHI's are generally pretty small and are talked about to drop off in power by 6k rpms. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Blaast's turbo specifically because as stated on their website, the power drop and overheating problems are "alleviated." the snail will be going on a d16z6 with weekend use stock internals. I'm only looking to push around 8psi and arond 200whp if possible but i want that 200whp to stay strong from mid to high rpms. Anyone think i can make power from spool to redline with one of these?

You will be hard pressed to see 200whp at 8 lbs with that. Why not a .48/.60 60 trim straight T3?

I know someone selling one of these turbo's brand new from blaast for a fair price. I'd love to have a T3 or a 14b but the price i'm lookin at for the IHI is $150 brand new while most t3's or 14bs are around $100 used.
