This is  a very good read, I assume it relates to the .63 hotside since
that's the  standard.

That is a good read... sounds like a good list to be on.
 
When choosing between these 2 turbos, remember this:  The compressor  side is 
exactly the same of these 2 turbos... in other words, they will move the  
same volume, and at the same efficiency... IF you get the right  compressor.  
There is only one trim available on the 3071 (56)... but there  are 3 trims 
available for the 2871 (48, 52, and 56).  Make sure you know  what you're 
getting... a 2871 isn't just a 2871.
 
I would suggest that if you get the 2871, that you get the 56 trim  unit.
 
The key difference between the 2 units is the size of the turbine  wheel.  
The 2871's is smaller, and will provide a quicker hit.  But it  will also die 
off quicker at higher rpm, as the exhaust flow is more  choked.
FWIW,
