Exactly, and the reason that posting a price is forum policy. But yllwturbo wants to make me out to be the bad guy.

I won't trade my A28 for 3076 (unless I do highway/drag only). Boost everywhere at the tip of my foot is addictive.

I would not make that trade!

Maybe A28 for A3076 would be more tempting but I still like what I have

is it really less boost same power level is less strain shouldnt it be the same strain since the power level is the same?

I don't want to start a pressure vs volume war... Imagine pressure (boost) being the same, but more air (volume). More air = more fuel= more power...

I dont think 3071 is a big enough upgrade over A28 to justify cost and labor.

Less temp at same boost (aka more density of air) = more power. So you could decrease boost for same power.
Another point. Turbine size of 3076 is bigger. Easier exhaust flow and more power.
