Best all around turbo for factory IP 617?
I am putting a 617 in my wife's 95 4 runner, My ? is, what Variable fin turbo would be best for this motor with a FACTORY IP or slightly modded IP. I am looking for the best fuel economy and reliability out of this! She will be using the truck as a DD, city and Hwy driving! I would like to stay away from modding the crap out of the motor just do due to the reliability stand point!!
Thanks

Ideally you want it to start cranking up the boost whenever you push the pedal down, and back off when you're cruising, and also back off when the desired boost is achieved. So one way is to have combination of actuator and connection to the throttle linkage, and another way would be to create an entire computer to take that stuff into account and move the lever accordingly.
Another way would be to just fix the lever in a certain position. Then you can easily fine tune when you want boost to kick in and when you feel the backpressure getting to be too much. It won't be as instant that way though.
The control is tricky. The vane lever basically cranks up exhaust backpressure to result in instant boost, like a few psi at idle. You don't want backpressure all the time though, so you can't just use a simple pressure actuator that backs off when the boost you want is achieved.
