30r????
I pieced together a GT3076 (well it's not all finished yet, but getting there), I got great deals on the turbo and the manifold, but the rest of the stuff is really adding up to finish the kit. If you can find a complete kit that's probably the way to go. I'll end up spending about the same amount of money by piecing it together, but that's OK because I would have never had the "lump sum" of the kit available I always seem to spend around the $1000 mark 
I think that stocker motors are really the place that GT3076's have a nice place. At least that's what I'm thinking as I'm working on that build right now. I think it's nice to be able to swap out any T3 flanged turbo. Want a 50 trim, GT35, whatever just swap it out.
Most of these people talking about reds have never even seen one, it's just the latest internet sweet turbo. It's very nice for sure, but take input from people who have hands-on knowledge.

also the extra torque from the stroker was really helping me power out of the turns
I agree that unless you can piece together a kit real cheap then it dont make sense. If you are going to a T3 flanged kit the 35 would be my smallest turbo of choice for me , but thats me. I been there done that.
I still think that a stroker and a HTA3076R would make some nice power with a very broad curve and holding TQ and Boost thru out its rev range.
And it would be just a turbo swap away from laying down all of the stock based turbo offerings at this moment

the really great thing about going to a T3 flange are all of the options available to you. Not to mention the entire range of a/r's you can just swap in.
GT series are also a newer design of compressor and turbine wheels with much higher efficiencies that the T series family. It may not flow a ton more, but the reduction in heat means you can run more timing and less fuel, etc. The downside is that they seem to be more fragile.

Save your money and buy a full kit. I just put my hta3076 on and i love it. My 2cent dont go green. I have a friend with a green and i wasnt at all impressed. If you go with the hta3076 and you ever decide to upgrade all you need is the turbo. But it seems like you already made your decision to go with the 30.
in my opinion (not having read the entire thread)... dont go 30R OR 35R for that matter for pump gas or auto X.... anything like that.
they SUCK on pump gas.... any stock housing turbo upgrade should lay waste to it on pump, and i mean by ALOT of torque....... and similar power up top.
That being said, we use alot of hybrid turbos for people that were considering 30r's etc and walk all over them.... using stage 3 turbines or the like, and a custom machine cover and pick your poison compressor wheel...
pm me if you want...
i have overlays of 3065s, hta30r's, 50 trims, etc.... on pump, the 50 trim is mega.

You mustve been on some crazy high reading Dyno. No way you made 500 plus on pump. And to the op. What is your obsession with an external wastegate? Internally gated turbos do a very good job regulating nominal boost pressures. Only if you plan on running very high boost levels would an ewg really negate an internal. By then you shouldbe running something higher than pump gas. Go with the red.

^^+1 on that no way you did 510 on pump gas...id like to see the dyno graph and wut kind of dyno was this on....boost level?....whos kit was this??....im really doubting those numbers on pump
Love my 30R cant say anything bad about it and my car has 500whp
You decide which turbo you want to buy, all depends on how much you want to spend. If you want a turbo kit buy one, if you just want a replacement turbo by a stock appearing, you are the one who needs to decide. I can see a lot of people saying X or Y about the 30R and 90% of them have never used one. Keep that in mind, on the other hand CBRD has had many on his hands, he still prefers his hot hybrid turbos heheh.
Chad is a road racer so his advice is very much a good one, Im a road racer as well, but not as hardcore as Chad *lol*

Having read the previous remarks heres my thoughts.
I had my engine rebuilt by RC DEVELOPMENTS in england ,the specs being
2.4 stroker
hks 272 cams and pulleys
standard head and valves
FULLRACE twinscroll GT 3076 with twin screamer wastegates
at the moment a verticle flow fullrace intercooler
tsl firestorm full 3inch exhaust system
walbro 255 pump in tank and a bosch 044 in line
fuel pressure reg
1000cc injectors
apexi power fc hand commander ecu
avcr boost controller
on the dyno she created very high inlet tempsof 70 c
but still made 480bhp and 500ft lb torque
to remedy the intake temps ive ordered a ETS cooler
the spool up of the turbo is exceptional with power all through the revs all the way to 7000rpm
personally i would not have it any other way 
cheers

I did make 510 WHP I also had 33PSI. I got the graph around here somewhere and I will show the doubters. Oh did I mention Mark from Turbo Trix tuned my car. He got me 450WHP before he knew I was fully built.

we can create many many options...
if you want to, just pm me, i have no issue spending time with someone that will never even buy a product from us.... we just love sharing data..

as it was answered earlier in the thread. i have easy access to EWG's. i do product testing and development for Synapse engineering. currently have there BOV and MBC the EVO. also as stated before i have experience with greens/reds/30R/35R/and 42R's. under the right setup there all amazing turbos. i won't bash a single one for there all great. so please stop trying to sale me the Red i know what it's potential is.
