I do not know from personal experiance, but I have read on more than one board on the subject. This is what I know. The GT-SS is like between the 2510 and the 2530, but with its more updated design will spool quicker than the 2510, and produce more power than the 2510, but it will not produce more power than the 2530. The power band is a little better than the 2530, but the top end power of the 2530s are much greater than the GT-SS.

GT-RS is compared to the 2540, but with a bigger top end, and spools quicker, but in order to make that power you have to go into the engine and dump a lot of cash. With the other 3 (2510, 2530, and the GT-SS) they are almost just plug and play.

The GT-RS will need and ECU controller of some sort, just like the other ones, but it will need a much bigger cam for breathing, port work, much bigger injectors, and you will have to run a stroker for the volume. Yes, it will produce a lot more power on top, but the power band will not be as good as the first 3 mentioned. I am all about the power band

Personaly I would take the GT-SS out of all the turbos mentioned, but I would not build the engine like the typical tuner. I think a little different.

Why are you wrapped up in the water cooled turbo stuff? They will last just as long as the typical oil cooled turbo.
