which chinacharger, of these two?
my power goal is ~250whp, but i'd obviously like a little bit of head room. maybe 275 eventually

looking at these things is giving me a headache. if neither of these is a good choice, link me to one that is?

If the specs for #1 are correct, it looks like it has a stg 3 sized t3 exhaust wheel, and a 57 trim compressor wheel. I don't think that it will perform the same as a 3071, but I'm pretty sure you'll hit your goals with either one.
The second one looks to be a bit smaller on the cold side, but without the exducer measurement one can't do the math. Exhaust wheel appears to be the same as the first one.
I used one similar to the second one on my FE3 and got 265hp/290ft,tq @ 15psi. That was on a stock engine with larger injectors and a TEC2.

the 3071 has a 53mm/71mm compressor. #1 turbo above has very similar size.
the 3017 has a 60mm turbine inducer. #1 turbo has a 63mm.
how is that not sized like a 3017?
no doubt you'll hit your goal with either one, but you'll be leaving tons of powerband on the table. For a 250-275rwhp goal I'd be looking for something in the 2560/2860/2871 range. or a straight 60 trim t3. a real 60 trim with a 60mm exducer, not 71mm.

looking at the numbers on garrets site, this is close to a 2860?

A genuine t3 super 60 (with a 60mm compressor wheel), with a stage I turbine, in a .48 A/R housing, is as close as you can get to a 2860. The compressor wheels are acutally identical in size but the T3 has a slightly larger turbine. This is a 300-350rwhp turbo.
A 57 trim t3/t4 is a 430-450rwhp turbo.
if you could find a 40 or 46 trim t3/t4 with a stage I turbine, that could work. What size motor you running?

Water cooled turbos were designed for OEM manufacturers looking for a way to reduce turbo failure from oil coking in the turbocharger. The intent is that it leaves a heat sink and the overall turbo cooler so that after a hard run and shutdown the oil doesn't break down and clog the bearing system... AS MUCH. If you run a turbo timer with a good oil it should make no difference whether its water cooled or straight oil.
