Better match for the 3L IMO.

Better match for the 3litre than what options? I'm not solid on the HKS equivalents for those power levels these days, reckon there are lots of good units out there. One of the cooler new beasties to hit the market I reckon is the Forced Performance GT3794HTA... though if you want something physically big and aren't shy to pay the bling (as buying the HKS T51R would imply) I'd really look at the new Garrett GTX4294Rs. How awesome would that be? ;)

Looking for something around the 800hp mark with a bit of response.

Looked at so far:

HKS T51R KAI

Turbonetics Hurricane (Benita) BB

Precision PT6765SP Billet BB

There is a fairly big price difference between the HKS turbo and the other two. But the T51R has the turbo whine that im after. ;)

Turbine whine is easy to sort out, just get anything which a decent antisurge setup ;) The GT3794HTA and the Garrett GTX4294HTA both have antisurge housings but are actually a little quiet probably due to the compressor design, PT6765 are also pretty quiet and the 3794HTA make more power - fwiw.

Borg Warner S300SX 91/79 could be fun as well - the Borgs are cheap and pretty tough and rowdy :banana:

The BW 366XL looks the goods but they are only oil cooled and journal bearing.

Do they make water cooled BB?

I wouldn't get too wound up about ball bearing vs plain bearing, there are quite a few journal bearing turbo combinations out there which give the BB Garretts a run for their money.... pay attention to the reliability/performance/owners comments of turbo combinations instead of what the marketing say. In terms of non-water cooling, what are you intending on using it for?

A bit of everything really. Powerful enough to put down a decent time but responsive enough to give the circuit ago.

This Supra seems to be fairly responsive with 760hp. And a circuit car too.
