I think one of the most prominent members with the .86 turbo was member Gatecrasher...but he also sprayed Nitrous ontop of it....

It's hard to say cost wise what would end up being cheaper. If going with a generic t3/t4 setup, it will probably end up going for less, if you're buying the same parts (both using 3" downpipes, both using tubular manifolds, both using lines etc etc) Now if you you just wanna run the turbo, on a stocker, with the lines...to easy, the gt28xx's are cheaper.
The biggest issue with 'most' 30r varient turbos, is that they are hodge podges of mixed parts. In order to really take advantage, you need the RPM's.

I have, and I prefer my .64 car over it. Maybe I was spoiled my the 28RS in my Sentra/Altima turbo beginnings?

There really isn't much, aside from the optional 'stock' housing (3 bolt output, 2 bolt input). I know I know, they have different trims etc etc, but all support (essentially) the same power.

You can't just swap compressor housings. They all have different wheel sizes/inducer bores.

Why would you not want to run a BOV? I really dislike the way cars drive without them...to finnicky and clunky for a street car. A proper BOV works wonders as well.
Speaking of which, I may be retiring my old Greddy Type S(hit) soon. It's been on all of my turbo cars, but I think I'll end up going to a Turbonetics Raptor...plus it'll rid of the ricey 'achoooo' sound.
