If it were me Id go with a GT42 Turbo with a 1.06 HS, but thats just me. If he's looking for moderate levels Id go with a 30R or 35R.

The point of the post you quoted was to explain that boost does not equal mass, which is what really counts. Larger turbos with turbine housings with larger A/Rs have the capability to move more mass, but come with a trade off of greater "lag" compared to a smaller turbo on the same motor. For a large number of Evo owners, the characteristics of a HTA Green or a Red are exactly what they want, and have the advantages of near stock spool, substantially more power, stock appearance, and no need for T3 or T4 manifolds and supporting parts. That's why they are in high demand.
In contrast, a GT42 is HUGE, and would not satisfy 99% of the people considering a Green or a Red. Not remotely in the same ballpark...
As far as your comments about FP, it sounds like you've had no experience yourself. There are thousands of very happy FP customers here, myself included, who would be pleased to give you the benefit of our experience. FP makes great products, and stands behind them. What more could you ask?
