The HKS 2530 is almost the same turbo as the Garrett GT2860RS (Disco-Potato) with the only difference being a slightly bigger inducer on the compressor (0.5mm) on the HKS version. And considdering the you can pick up the dancing spud for around the $1300 mark it (i'd hate to know what the retail is on the HSK item?) would be the way i'd be going if tossing up between the two. I don't know if you can find a T3 flange for the 2860 though.
The TD is a lot bigger turbo than the 2530 though, it's even bigger than a 2871R and ever so smaller than the 3071R.
Does anyone have the wheel specs for the standard R33 turbo?
And just to make the decission making process harder, here's another turbo that is spec'd inbetween the GT2860RS and the GT2871R, A HKS GT2535; Bit more Exxy though;
