Which turbo to keep? 700 1986

Well, I sure appreciate the enthusiastic responses from everybody. Just so you know, I have already replace the engine wiring harness with a newer one, so that should not be an issue. Now, on the issue of the Turbo. From what I have read here and on Turbobricks, my current turbo may be able to give me some better performance on the highway and stuff, while the Mitsubishi that will come with this engine would give me better low-end. If I kept my old one I would have to alter the exhaust manifold a little, buty I think that would be easier than getting all-new coolant and piping lones for the turbo. The Garrett that is in my car now is water-cooled. Anyone have anything to say about performance benefits between the turbos when attached to the 93 exhaust manifold?
