Default Best mid sized turbo for s2k

Will the GT3076 with a .82 hot side pull hard until red line? I want to choose a turbo that will give me some good low end but pull hard all the way to red line. I don't want a huge turbo but I don't want a small turbo that runs out of breath early. My goals are 350-400 whp.

Best bang for your buck imo.

Do you like them better than the borg warner options?

I was under the impression the GT35 was a bit big for my goals. I was worried about losing some low range power.

GT35r ALL the way, forget precision they seem to be built like shit. The spool of my turbo is insanely quick for how much top end it gives me. (I am divided 1.06).

I happened to spend a few hours yesterday looking at dyno charts (Ptuning, Full Race, Synapse and PFAB ELT) and the answer is YES.

GT3076 .82 seems to be one of the best all around turbos for the S2000. Some folks would prefer the GT3071 / GTX3071 or the 5857 for your goals.
