Well i've recently been looking at the GT3076R for my motor as well and came to the conclusion that its probably the best street turbo for ~400RWHP goals. I've researched on various boards and for a 2.5L motor with highflow characteristics such as the 1j, the GT3076R fits the bill. Granted the GT3582R has more headroom and can get you to 500rwhp, you sacrifice low end response. As my goal is 375-400rwhp and low end response, this is most probably what i'm going with.
For those who have been staring at compressor maps from garrett, you'll notice that they aren't to scale. I spent some time superimposing the maps to scale and added flow lines for a 2.5L motor with 0.90VE. Figured i'd share with you guys since this decision seems to come up every so often. Enjoy.
The following is someone else's boost response curve. He has the boost come on slow for his application via SBC-iD, however this should give you a good idea of the quickspool of the 3076r. 1bar (14.7psi) around 3400rpm. not bad. the person who did this datalog ended up with just over 300rwkw (400rwhp)
