Do you think that the 3076r would be better for my case? or do you still think a smaller one would be more beneficial for where I stand currently?
I think the gtx3076r is the best choice in both cases. At low boost, its not going to be generating as much heat as a smaller sized turbo for the same power. It was have a power ceiling much higher for a built engine car.

The gtx3076r is not a "big laggy turbo", it's a long way from it- it's just not a light switch like OEM sized turbos. Be careful thinking that you want over 450whp in the car for long though. It's a very deep rabbit hole that this platform isn't well suited for.
