I think the wastegate flutter or whatever from the greddy sounds kinda silly -_- lol

which one makes more power or can make more power than the other? im assuming its the greddy.

That sound is compressor surge and will damage the turbo. You need a bov or a bpv to relieve the pressure between shifts. And Greddy, afaik, doesn't have a tune, so that's an extra expense. That is unless you purchase a package from a shop with a tuner.

And lastly, on the safety vs modding - you think a crash beam is going to be the only thing that an insurance company who is looking to deny a claim is looking for? What about brake modifications, steering wheels, seats, suspension, etc?

Don't preach doom and gloom and I won't glorify the weight reduction. Deal?
