So I will be ordering my 850R Tues.

Do you really see an advantage in running this 850R turbo vs the HTA35R??

I will have had both, so I will be able to tell you which is better. I don't think you will notice 300 rpm lag vs 50-70 more awhp. The HTA35R spools 200rpm earlier than a standard 35R. The 850R spools 100 rpm slower than the standard 35R, see that leaves you with 300rpm differance for a big hp increase. I don't see the harm in making the switch, at 44psi I will not notice a 300rpm differance. Another thing is that the HTA35R's housings are so close that with my cast mani its a pain to work with. I don't think I will regret the switch!
