To me the thought of a B.B. Red is more appealing on a large dispacement mill than an HTA Green simply for the fact that the Red is configured with and shares the larger turbine wheel that FP employs on the Black.
Likewise with the CBRD turbo range. Given a larger than stock displacement motor I would personally choose a 3B, or a BB-C over the smaller wheeled BBK-Full.

There is bound to be significantly less measurable back pressure through the Red's turbine than exists with the smaller major and minor diameters of the wheel used on the Green.

Well, I know that the cost factor is what keeps me from ordering a BB turbo too, pure_evo. Still I think that with 2400 c.c.'s of displacement you should be able to spool a medium-sized J.B. stock framed turbo such as an HTA Green, an FP Red, an EF3, or a BBK-B.
I am not sure if it was on this thread or not where Chad had stated that the BBK-B will only be available in BB format(Is this right?). Also, I think that the Green will be from now on only available as a BB turbo. I am not 100% sure on these two statements though.
Still I think that with the 2.4L engine you'll have no trouble spooling a JB Red. I have one on my stock motor now and the only place where it is noticeably laggy s on extremely tight mountain roads. On sweepers and around town it is just fine for me. And this is on a stock 2-Liter.
I would say either the JB Red or an EF-3, would be good with your motor, if in fact the BBK-B is no longer made in JB format.
I think that I'll head over to the Dynotuning forum to see if Curt Brown has posted up some comparative power plots between the BB Green and the BB Red on his 2.3L engine.

from what i have read it seems that the BBK Full, B and C are only going to be in Ball Bearing form. the only JB turbo from CBRD is going to be the BBK lite, now im not sure what they have for the X's.
i also want to say that the FP line is mostly BB as well.
i have a JB Full and i love that turbo! not laggy and pulls hard.
whenever i build the motor (2.3 or 2.4) i will probably look at the BBK-B or C. depending on the results of the C (spool, transient response, low-mid-top end performance) that might be my choice.
by the looks of the flow rates the C looks to be similar to the Red as far as flow.
i thinking my setup will be a 2.4l with ported intake and 65mm TB, forward facing BBK-C, built head etc etc. thats the setup i am thinking of going with.
