JM GTD vs. Frankenturbo

I'm currently on the search for a turbo upgrade for my 2010 JCW. My two top picks are the 47mm GTD from JM and the FrankenTurbo. Does anyone have any feedback on which they prefer?

I just got a Frankenturbo F21M, ceramic coated. I can't make a comparison, but it seems to be well built and I've received good service from the company. Install went smoothly, the car is running well. It will be a few more weeks until I put a tune on it.

Personally I think that, JM turbos are way too overpriced' if your wanting it new your paying 1800 bucks for a k04 turbo' and that's crazy' I got a brand-new turbonetics gt35 a few years back for 1400 bucks' on top of that I just got a new Garrett vnt-17 with ever thing I need to install on my golf tdi for under 1200 bucks' that was with braided steel lines' even if you give core it's still way over priced'

Frankenturbo is pretty well well-known in the v-dub world' they have excellent warranty and great customer service' have a buddy thats been running one on his Audi for about 2 year's now with out a problem'
My current set up on my 07 r56 is frankenturbo f21 hybrid and the way motor works intake manifold ' and your still under 1800ish for turbo and manifold '
