Spool up time would be the least of my concerns if the car was mine. I only mentioned it because you were told that by keeping the cats the turbos will spool faster. This is not true.

I would be worried about the cat failing and then picking the turbo in pieces.

yeah i agree, spending that much on a turbo just to have it destroyed by some debris would break my heart!

I know that would suck, I don't want test pipes and I don't think hfc would solve the problem, it's not a big concern for me and even the r and d department at STS tells me it's fine but damn u guys are making me nervous, I just don't know what route to take
