To get that kind of power out of a D66, you will need an external wastegate to relieve excess exhaust pressure. If not the backpressure on the turbine side is going to go insane. I don't care how amazing anyone says the D66 is, it still has the STOCK... Read... STOCK turbine wheel and housing. The STOCK wheel and housing cannot flow near the exhaust volume that a properly setup S366 would.
If I really wanted to, I could leave my STOCK turbo on my truck, put wastegates on it and spray it with enough nitrous to make 550-600hp with hybrids... A couple people are doing that with D66's. It's your decision.
IMO you'd be better off with the T4 mounted turbo and selling the D66. This gets you tons of options. Tons of turbine housing combinations you can use, tons of compressor side options, center sections, etc.
People are making close to 600hp with S366s and S466s, but yet the D66 and GTP38R are running out of gusto in most cases around 460-480hp, unless an external wastegate is used. Why might that be? All those turbos have 66mm inducers on the compressor wheels, so why does the stock replacement 66mm turbos run out of muscle so quickly...
The S366 wouldn't take crap to spool with stage 2 or larger injectors. It will take a fuzz longer b/c the turbine section will have a larger wheel in it to make it capable of flowing enough exhaust for your power goals, unlike your D66.... It will not take much longer though if the turbo is spec'd correctly for your setup. Sounds to me like he made it sound like the S366 would take forever to spool in comparison to the D66 and that is not true.
I should say, I've never run a D66 and have nothing against Beans or the turbo. It is simply my opinion that a STOCK turbine wheel and housing has no place in high performance endeavors. They will work for getting mid 400's, but backpressure will get out of hand and you can get more from the T4 mount and turbo options.

S366 would be my choice. Durability in the long run is what I'd be looking at. If I wanna stomp it I don't wanna worry about boom from a charger shaft. I'll deal with a little lag to make a little more power.
