it is going to be on a strret/daily car and running on pump gas. main reason for that is money bneing im 18 and work at nissan lol. I personally think i would like a larger power ban because as we all know we dont have much power in the torque area.
what is the better turbo to go with the 3076 or precisions equivilent 5857 if im right? also agree on the .63a/r if i go with the smaller turbo set up

What mani are you going to be mating this to?
If you want to save a bit of money, consider the BW S256. Great turbo, great price. Otherwise, the billet 5857 is also a great choice, but I wouldnt use the journal bearing. The DBB versions are ~$1450-1500.
Both will make better power than the 3076R, which is great for pump fuel. I wouldnt bother with a .63 a/r, just get the .82 right off the bat. The spool really isnt much better with the smaller housing, but the top end is noticeably worse.

GT3076R should use a 0.82 a/r turbine housing. I own both and have data logged both. The 0.63 doesn't really spool faster and makes less power once boost begins (which is a HUGE portion of the power band). All in all, the 0.82 feels better and makes more power.
I would personally say go GT30R. The GT35R is an awesome turbo, but for 450 whp, GT30R is the way to go. (unless you go with a twin scroll T4 manifold- then I would probably do the GT35R) The GT30R should max out around 550 whp and just a few years back would have been considered a large turbo for such a small engine.
You're 100% right saying tubular is the way to go. Logs tend to have more issues with bolts breaking and backing out, plus they make a lot less power and don't feel as good to drive. (Again, I've run both.) Go tubular the first time and you'll save yourself lots of $$ down the road.

U know what after reading this I'm gonna go ahead and change my choice to the 30r, I just drove my car and can say I don't want anymore power, the 30r is still a monster and the car pulls like crazy, so for a sick street car I'm saying go 30r, the bigger powerband is just more fun, I make full boost at like 4000 rpms , also the tubular manifold is a must
