I've heard the kkk spools up a little earlier so that's what I'd go with.
 I've got the Garret on mine right now, while I rebearing and seal my kkk.

Remember to search before posting.  1.6lTD KKK versus Garrett turbo differences are previously covered here:

Actually according to the previous info posted on this topic, the Garrett was reportedly a little bit quicker spooling than the KKK.
