Alright, I need some help picking a new turbo im gonna save up for. I was gonna go with the GT2871R but are there any better solutions out there? Ive been told that the 2871 is a really good turbo and it mates well with B16s…anyone ever have any experience with a 2871? Im also looking to buy brand new im not goin used this time ---

it really depends on what your looking for. i had the 2871r on my 240 and loved it. it pulled really hard top end and still spooled wel down low. as for on a b16 it might be a little big unless yu run the smaller .64 exhaust wheel, which limits your power output to right around 330 whp. ---

There’s a kid in Altoona running a 2871R on a B16. Hybridynamics did the install and tune. If I remember right he made like 290whp on 14psi. Stock internals I believe. I know he loves the setup. ---

my whole thing about the 2871 is whats the limit 300-400, that means you have to get a bigger one later on, i lucked out when i might my 60-1 quick spool really doesent matter unless your roll racing, and roll racing is gay. who want to drive around town at 3000 rpm @ 10 psi. i wouldent… for less money you can get a turbo that can support more power and is better for your motor… (bigger turbo less stress on everything) ---

joe has a point. i got a garrett t3/to4b and it spools pretty fast. i can still drive around out of boost tho most of the time. i dont know what your hp goals are or what kinda $$$ you wanna spend. im going with a gt40 or a 35 for my next build. maybe look into a t3/to4E or the super 60. ---
