Default Best spooling turbo for 550bhp

Hi just after a bit of advise i'm just about to fit my 2.1 stroker engine and i want to run about 500/550 on v power. I will be fitted my gt3076 for the time being. I just want to know what will be the best spooling turbo. I have been looking at the borg warner 7670 turbo or maybe a precision turbo any body running either turbo with some feedback would be great thanks

For the 500 mark I'd choose either the precision turbo or mdx321V

a 2.1 is a pretty small engine for good spool- and you need to remember other factors affect spool as well, uppipe and downpipe sizes headers and mapping,(assuming your on a decat). static compression makes a big difference off boost too . my own engine with cams and 9.0 compression is happy to pull onto boost at 2200 rpm in the higher gears but does,nt get into the zone until 4k rpm.
really nice nice to have a torquey revvy engine under the main boost zone though... the previous engine was like a switch and had no torque or power below 4krpm at all-literally changing down to 3rd or 4th at 70 mph to get the revs above 4k.
mines just a forged 03 newage sti on a sc54 billet.

the sc54 was always known as a lag monster. so setup is very important
.as long as the revs are over 2k it runs very well in all gears made 550-500 in march- my favourite engine so far 2.1
