turbine blades are pretty tough a bit of rust wont matter at all.

That's a possiblity and may be good enough for some people, but I don't do things that way.

So what do you guys feel a 3071 with the.82 housing can make on 100 octane with all the supporting mods on high boost..

How much laggier can it be over the .63 wouldnt it be worth it since the 3071 seems to not hold boost very well??

82 hot side is not a good idea.. it will kill spool and maybe give you 15~20 whp up top (maybe)

Just FYI.

Cast iron rusts as well, IC pipes usually have a thin coating of oil after use.

Perhaps, but the ones I have in my hand are used, there is no thin coating of oil, and there is rust. Again, this may be fine for some, but I don't do things that way.

Furthermore, my IC pipes do not have a thin coating of oil in them, and fortunately, neither does my IC, which would begin reducing its efficiency. If you have oil in your IC pipes (?), I suggest a good cleaning followed by installation of an oil trap system for the PCV.

Good suggestion, Do you recommend a particular catch can? What are your thoughts about ceramic coating the EM and o2 housing to eliminate the possiblity of rust entering the turbocharger?

There are several good catch cans available. The Weapon-R unit should be noted for it's seemingly tidy placement. The others require a little more squeezing for fitment.

Unlike the IC pipes, the EM gets quickly coated with carbon from the exhaust. The O2 housing falls downstream of the turbo, so it is a non-issue.

Well, I just ordered the ATP 3071r with the .82 housing which I was told is good for about 25 more hp.
The extra lag shouldnt be a problem since Ill be installing this turbo onto a built 2.4 stroker with a stg 3 head.
And of course I have all the supporting mods, so I will let all of you know how it go's.
I am looking for 450whp on 100octane, I dont think that will be a problem....We'll see...

why run a 3071 on a built motor? why not run a gt35r or better yet.. a 3052/3076

I'd have to agree w/trinydex on that one. An increase in displacement of 20% is considerable, and you'd probably stand to fare better with a larger turbo at .63 A/R.
