Message the BB535's. There were not available when I installed my 2530's.

It all depends on what your personal preferences are. I really like low end throttle response and minimal turbo lag, so that would steer me towards the 535's. I track my car a lot on road courses and though the high end power is nice, more low end response would help make the car easier to drive and improve laptimes as corner exit speeds would help a lot more than high end power.

In the streets, the better throttle response would be a lot nicer as well.

As it is, I will keep the 2530's in the car as I am getting use to them and can't justify the expense of switching turbos again.

This is just my personal opinion in which I take a lot of heat for, but I would rather have less overall horsepower and be able to better utilize it rather than have a lot of power that is not really useable on the street where most of our cars spend their times. It is really nice to say that you have a 500RWHP car, but can you really make practical use of it. Dynos and tracks are one thing and the street something else.
