I am talking about an Actual 56 trim GT2871R ..... If you read all the way back to begining of this ..... He said he had GT28Rs with 71R sized wheels installed. So Yes you can still call this turbo a GT2871R even if its not technically a 56 trim wheel anymore but lets say a bit bigger (meaning compressor inducer measuring a bit more than 53.13mm now).
The exducer is still 71mm so even in Philty's case (I'm not getting into his custom setup) you can still consider this a GT2871R.
Just like a GT3071R is called a GT3071R because its in the GT30XX family and has a 71mm exducer.
However this does not apply to the GT2835/37/R/RS and etc as there final two numbers don't reference the exducer size they have around a 1.64” exducer size.
There is a difference between trim, inducer size, and exducer size. Not all the numbers on turbos relate to its trim. Most people don't realize this.
I hope this answers your questions.
