I have a GT2871R and if I were to do it again, I would have bought a GT2860R or GT2560R (S15).

I would always read about how the 2871 is a 400whp turbo, and it is. That's why I chose it. I learned however, that you need to spend a lot more money than just the turbo to get there.

I made 320whp and am happy with that. I figure it will cost another $3k to make the push for 400whp. There's just no need. With a smaller 2860 or 2560, I would have made the same power with better response.

Just food for thought.
