I'm pretty certain that 3076R with the housing for the tial wastegate, which doesnt require the cut down wheel like the 3071R T25 flange version, on a stock S15 manifold, would more than keep me happy for a daily driver setup. Hell a 2871R 52T with that exhaust housing and greddy install kit would do it too

Ah hell, theres technical discussion going on around here. Someone needs to hurry up and change stuff back to shitty suspension arms, and how the less offset you have, the cooler your wheels are, no matter the width.
It's worse than that. The manifold in question was an off the shelf unit that you can currently buy at Enjuku as a kit. 100's of people run this. The FR manifold back then was closer to 1400, I think. This was in 2002-2003ish. Not many parts were around back then.

Oh yeah, by the way Vapor, a former Admin, had a 2540 (2876 in Garrett numbers) back 5-6 years ago on his SR. It made 400whp. That was before the big migration to the 2871r started.
