The t51r is capable of a lot more power and sounds better than the t78 as well. Whether it's worth the premium is up to you

Please tell me you aren't from Utica, NY!
Best bang for the buck? Neither of them. Both are overpriced pieces of crap in my opinion.

Have long have you owned the car? There are tons of other modifications and considerations involved in order to safely run either turbo you mentioned.

To answer your question, the HKS is capable of massive power of 600+ to the wheels. The T78 is easily capable of 425+ and over 500. It's all up to what kind of car you're trying to build.

You might want to look into a ball bearing garrett turbo as well.
