Davek,
Look for the recent posts in "the official hta green thread" there was talk about the failed hta becoming the "fp white". Robert had said this turbo with a 10.5 hotside spooled faster then his green with a 9.0, now if you took that new white which iirc was like 1295$ and had them put the 9.0 hotside, you'd spool like a madman. Just a thought!

At 9000 + ft altitude...your gonna need something pretty decent. Im at 4500ft, and there is a definite loss of spool compared to sea level. I would recommend something like the HTA3076 from Forced Performance...decent spool with good topend power. Or maybe FP green "fully modded" i.e.- equal length manifold, ported turbine housing, ported compressor housing inlet and outlet, bigger j-pipe, open dump o2 housing...I think the spool is the toughest part to tackle due to lack of oxygen..

I agree ^^
With such thin air and a larger turbo you might get into a spot where that turbo spools later then you really need, especially coming out of shaprp turns and quick elevation changes. That big power could end up being a hinderance

Our 2009 plans call for a 12:1 compression 2.3 or 2.4L motor with anti-lag. 
I'd also agree with you guys that a 3076 is probably the largest I'd want to go on a stock 2.0L.Dave

One more alternative to consider is the CBRD BBK turbo, but it's not officially released yet.

sounds daft but have you spoken to anyone about a custom turbo?? i know some of the Pike Peak racers run custom turbos (i think they start with ex F1 or Champ car stuff??) that can spinn faster than normal turbos to give them more head room!
if you want to be competative then i would look into the custom turbos. they WILL meet your needs (as you will spec them! lol)!
if you HAVE to go for an off the shelf turbo then id say go GT30R! its comon 2.0race turbo over here (most races are restricted CC classes). if you want bigger then have a look into the T04Z. norris design has had some REALLY impresive result! similar power to the GT35Rs but spools faster!
Cheers

very nicely prepped RS200. with an aazing engine! they vent the BOV back into the exhaust manifold on overrun to act as an anti-lag. also they use a normal anti-lag system (retarding ignition timing)! you can onyl imagine what the two together are like! lol
from memory these gusy are running a 2.4 BDT Evo 2 engine with a custom turbos (deigned for altitude).
also their driver dosen't use O2! he thinks its for whimps! lol

Hi DJ
Your absolutly RIGHT, I am at 6000ft altitude and I think the biggest problem with the Stock frame Turbo up here is that the 10.5 Hotside is only equivalent to maybe a T3 .48 or less...
So it cannot effectively hold more than 18-19psi at altitude... Its also not a good choice on a 2.3L as the Hotside becomes the main restriction when trying to maintain a decent airflow at high RPM.
The biggest gains to be got from the GT3076R are the 60mm GT30 Turbine wheel and the option of the T3 .63 Hotside, maybe even a T3 .82 on the 2.4L+ Strokers.
However on the Stock Block 2L the GT3076R does suffer with spool and divability when compared to the Stock frame Turbo's like the Green so I was considering the GT3071R as an alternative as it shares the GT3076R's 60mm GT30 Turbine wheel and I know it is a popular Auto-X choice in T3 .78 Twin Scroll Format for other 2L motors like Nissan, Toyota and Honda etc...
