Which turbo to use? sr20 T25 or greddy TD04H?
Greetings all.
I've had my miata for about a year now and have been collecting items I'll need for boost. I have 2 turbos to choose from:
SR20det T25 turbo and a Greddy TD04H
My goals are around 200 hp which I know both are more than capable of producing. I would like something responsive...not laggy and both seem to work well since they are small and don't require much spool.
The T25 is oil and water cooled...while the TD04 is oil cooled only.
Both turbos are in great condition as far as I can tell.
My car currently has 242K miles on it with surprisingly good compression 180-185-180-185. I have a spare motor at home as well in case the motor goes to shi* and a spare car.
I live in CA and eventually have to smog the car...so I am leaning more towards the Greddy due to it having a CARB (I do have a MS1 I will be tinkering with)
So turbo gurus, is the T25 far superior than the TD04 in terms of performance and longevity?
Advice is much appreciated.

I've had both, although my current t25 is freshly rebuilt. I definitely enjoy the t25 more, for power and response. I feel just that much more confident that it's water cooled too. Both for my engine oil and sanity.

Driving style: spirited and/or somewhat aggressive.
This is my daily driver so I commute with it so I'm looking for reliability, predictability (gradual/linear power vs slow/laggy spool). Maximum power is not my goal.
Td04h is the one from the greddy kit. I have 2: one with a supposed 1500 miles and a spare with unknown mileage.
