In fact, it receives various upgrades, including pistons with new bolts and rings, stronger connecting rods, a new aluminum-silicon alloy cylinder head, different injection valves and a different turbocharger.
Pros: various upgrades, stronger parts
Vehicle:

They are a good bit larger then the gt2871r you've been running. The twin scroll version- probably not much more lag then you've already got. Just an extra 200 hp.
Pros: extra 200 hp
Cons: bit more lag
i love my gt3071 v2 billet blade upgraded by arnold at pagparts.com i also have arnold's .72 a/r exhaust housing... and i rev out to 7800rpm... it pulls great
Pros: pulls great
Somedays I wish I went with a 30series, but so far very happy with my gtx2867. Sure it could be the bigger gt30, but am happy with my lil gtx.
Pros: happy with gtx
Cons: could be bigger
it was ~40kmi, no crack, no shaft play or other problems etc.
Pros: no crack, no shaft play, no problems

Fantastic looking turbo, never looked into them before. The map is slightly inferior to the GTX2867R's map though.
Pros: fantastic looking
Cons: map slightly inferior
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I got a new car a month ago that came with a IHI IS38. I got my tune from sneaky tuned and after about 2-3 pulls at 30psi the turbo popped. Spit the rear turbine out into the exhaust.
Cons: turbo popped, turbine spit out
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
3 weeks after posting this and my turbo locked up on the hot-side... Car ran 10 degrees hot out of nowhere and then a loud pop followed. Checked everything and it seemed okay. Except the turbine wheel didn't want to spin. Absolutely locked up. Friend driving behind me saw more black smoke than usual during the pull followed by a blue-white "puff" which we agree is when the turbo died.
Cons: turbo locked up, loud pop, turbine wheel didn't spin, turbo died
They are indeed extremely fragile, the stock CKRA BorgWarner turbo is not reliable and will blow. Its just a question of when not if
Cons: extremely fragile, not reliable, will blow
