Which would you choose?
I have a greddy turbo. Been looking at the Mazdaspeed turbo for a little bit. I have read that it spools quicker and it hits the HP numbers I am going for (200). The Greddy is great and all, but if I could get quicker spool, I am more for that.
Btw, engine is 1.6L.
Would you sell and get the IHI or keep the greddy?

If response is your thing, and you don't wanna put the coin on a GT-series turbo, you can't beat a TD04 off a WRX. I get 10 psi by 2700 rpm even with a 2.25" exhaust. And on top I can tell I'm making close to 200 whp.
All you'd need hardware-wise is an adapter plate from your greddy manifold and a modified downpipe, which you'd need anyway to upgrade the crappy greddy one. Turbos are cheap, like $100 on the Subaru forums. You don't even have to clock the hotside.

I have an IHI, but the BEGi VC47, not the MSM type.
BEGi will swear up and down this turbo is BETTER than the IHI in the mazdaspeeds. Having seen the compressor map for mine, I'd hate to see something that produces LESS power up top.
I'm already planning a compressor upgrade. I say keep the greddy, and find the extent of it's potential.

Well when is yours spooling? My friend has a 92 1.6 with the greddy kit (begi downpipe, custom intercooler etc), and it spools very quick.

MazdaSpeed seems to source different turbos for different cars. In the MazdaSpeed Protege, they use what is essentially a Garrett GT25r. That spools super quick, and I picked one up from the Mazda forum (Mazda Forums - Powered by vBulletin) for $300. Imagine a GT25r for $300. Do what I did.
