S252 SX is made by who?

I like the idea of keeping the same footprint and just changing out the turbo.

From my trawling on Garrett forums,"upgrading" from a normal 3076r to a GTX 3076 is not worth it.
Going to a 3071 i don't think is wise, you'd have to run more boost to get the power no?

.the general opinion
(not my first hand experience by any means) is that they just don't make the power promised.
I would be tempted with a Precision next time round..
.they seem to kick ass on flow and spool.
That said, I am amazed at the Forced Performance turbos- compared to the Garret compressor wheels, they are simply astonishing.

.just get out there and talk to folk who have experience of both.
.
.then make up your own mind.
For my money- I would stick a GT3071HTA on yours..
.it'll be more than fast enough for the road, and will have awesome mid-range torque.
You should come for a drive in mine with the GT2868HTA.
.
.it is absolutely awesome as a road going setup, easily more than enough for fast road driving and embarrassing other cars.
I can't see the GT3071HTA not being totally insane, with a bit more lag.
But then I've only played with Garretts, HKS and HTA turbos..
.it is entirely believable that the BW are as good as they claim!
Why not discuss with someone unbiased and who know both products? FullRace are really helpful, likewise Owen Developments will discuss it with you(although they'll probably try to sell you one of their new turbos!), Real Street are also really helpful.

Yes..
.
.
.but.

.
.
.
.different engines tune differently don't they.
.
.
.what it does on a Cossie
(with mega mods?) is not a valid comparison with a Garrett on a totally different engine is it.
Show me back to back tests on the same engine and I'm all ears..
.or talk to folk who have detailed experience across a huge range of different applications and engines and I'm listening.
A throwaway comparison to a single other build is just pub talk.Show me what his engine does when tuned up on a Forced Performance or Precision turbo, then we can talk about which turbos get blown away.

S257SX-E flows 65lb/min so good for 625ish with the correct supporting mods, but will spool a little slower(although still faster than what you've got right now)
