bb green are temporaryly out, gtx3071r is cheaper and there are some results that you can find under the dyno section. CBRD FULL BB is good, but for that price is you can check on the agp turbo kit with 5858BB. you can call AGP to get the price direct from them, it will be cheaper than buying from their website.

I can't make up my mind. CBRD will do a core upgrade for the BBX BB Full and lite for a little less than a new one. MHI isn't BB but it's brand new and doesn't break the bank. I just don't know if it will fall on it's face in the future with future upgrades. GTX3071R seems comparable to the BBX Full in terms of flow, and it's brand new. Will a turbo with 56/57 lb/min flow be much for my stock block in comparison to the 18k or FP Green @ 54? This is my daily driver w/ a stage 3 clutch I do need good spool characteristics, but I will be road racing a few times a year. I wish they still had the FP Green BB.

56/57lb/min wont be too much for the stock block. again, its all depends on your tune. the stock block can also handle the turbo with the same size as fp red. if you really like bb turbo, then 3071 will be your best bet. if you want more top end then pick 3576, do not do 3076.

Borg Warner EFR series. No compressor known to man can compete with their wide efficiency maps. Also, no turbine known to man of equal A/R can compete with their spool characteristics
Full Race makes the kits. The EFR 7670 has the spool characteristics of a GT30 ball bearing but the compressor efficiency range of a GTX3582R

FP Red BB?
Hate to bring this back from the dead, but FP is now offering FP BB turbos (upgrade only) again for a reasonable price. 
From what I have researched, the FP Red Bb spools like a boss for a 60lb/min turbo, and would give me a little more headroom than the 18k. Any luck with you guys upgrading your turbos from FP?

FP Red BB it is!
Decided on an FP Red BB w/ porting. Just seems like the best option, leaves some headroom for future upgrades, great spool for its size, and made by the company that has been building the best turbos in the biz. Should be done by new year. 
I'll post results then! 
Thank again for your input and expertise guys!
