K16 Billets vs A28

I know this is something that has been thrashed around before but I would like your opinions on something, so here goes ...

I am currently running my car with K16 Billets from Markski with his tune in a standard stock motor 996 tt manual with all the other upgrades, exhaust, ICs, injectors, etc. on PUMP GAS with meth
I am really happy with the performance as far as that it is very streetable (I only race guys around town on the road that I happen to find )
I also have the Alpha3076s which I am considering putting in to my car
But I find myself wondering if I should actually consider the A28s rather

What would the difference in performance be for me and my set up if I went with 3076s or A28s ?
(Remember I am using pump gas)

the average billet k16 uses approx same size compressor as the a28 so I would not bother going from k16 to a28. Go all the way to the 76, boost is just a downshift away.

actually buy the 3071 turbos i have for sale and get better spool than the 3076 and more power than the a28. and cheaper than either with w/g and headers! (shamless self serving plug )

the thing is! i read that epl don't buy the 3071 anymore since they did the 3076 as the spool is marginal but the top end power is quiet substantial!!

Ask them the cost of a set of 3076 and external w/g and headers then ask me what one cost. At 800 rwhp you will outshine any k16 or alpha 28

on pump gas you will never see the top end of the 3076 . or the 3071 for that matter. with proper fueling and engine management i had 650 rwhp on 1 bar boost with lots of room left for more. on 93 oct i did 610 rwhp

i actually have the same question....say you're bored with the k16billets
where do you go next on stock internals but pump gas. I hear people say a28 are too hard on stock internals. Do you go a30's then?
