So recently ive been browsing the market for a new turbo for my sr. I was planing on running a GT2871 but what does everyone think about the 2876? I haven’t really heard that much about the 2876 so hopefully someone will have some input on this. Heres the specs sheets from garrett [GT2876r with 0.86 A/R turbine housing](http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2876R_705330_2.htm) [GT2871r w/ 0.64 A/R turbine](http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2871R_771847_1.htm) ---

76 gets you very little over the 71. you bump to a to4e style front end, so its physically bigger, but doesnt yeild much cfm. i’d go 71 fo sho ---

76 is harder to install. go with the 71 with the .86 housing ---

the 30 would be sick but i agree the 76 won’t make a huge difference over the 71 and its def a good turbo for the street. it spools quick and is capable of making pretty decent power. ---

the 2860 is a mismatched turbo, don’t buy it…while the 2871 is a very nice turbo that has done over 400whp with lots of boost on 1.8L that I’ve seen
