Just bolt a bigger turbo on and screw more boost into it! Sorted....

Yes they are the same thing - 89CAL was looking at your current list and missed your shopping list.

Ahh yess..... Missed that lol sorry

I'm over the GTX3076, swapping back to the 71 again. If the whale was manual it would be a different story I suspect.

Don't go too big for a road car, you will be kicking yourself.

Area under the curve always wins.

Told ya when you were making the swap.....I would stick on a GT3076 and win even more on the whale.

If it's a street car, a normal new water pump is fine. N1 is for dedicated track car only.

Swapping from the GT3076 to the HTA3076 was the best thing i ever did!

I am still not a fan of GT30 framed GTX turbos.

[scotty nm35]

Have you ever run the GTX3071? Fan or not they are an impressive turbo in my book.

I made great power with it, it handled all the track work I threw at it, was quite responsive, even with the 1.06 Tial rear... What more would I want from a $900 turbo that bolts straight in to my setup?

I am not a fan of Precision's ceramic bearings, after having seen a few failures on customer cars. BW refuse to make a turbo that is compact enough. Looks like I will have to stick with old faithful Garrett. I'm sure I could do much worse.

Yes I have driven the GTX3071 and they are a good turbo but I still think the GT3076 is a better thing.

Better throttle response and the power they output is pretty similar....plus the old school version is cheaper. On a heavy car like a Stagea it all helps.

And only a handful of GTX3071R's were sold for $950 or whatever.But I do agree they are a wonderful thing.

Better throttle response is subjective, and more based on housing, wastegate design and tune than small differences in turbo spec imo. Strangle the rear and the transient response goes to shit from my experience and internal gates blowing open under pressure won't give you a good indication of response...
