Few important Questions regarding GT35R
now i just need someone to help me pick out a turbo......I want a little less than a 35r, but about 25-30% more than a maxed out stocker........3037????dam i dont know.......I want a solid 28-30 PSI and 420-450 HP to the wheels. I have never run less than 100 octane in the car from day one. Drive it once a month. No racing. Just like to flex the muscle every now and then............

I rarely use the nitrous. It needs to be tuned again. Its a wet kit. I want those numbers on a turbo that is in the middle of its effeciency range, not the top end of it. The stocker i think would be out of range for 450 WHP.
here is the turbo i think i have setteled on...what do you think....

1. Do the tubular manifolds tend to crack more if used on a daily driver?
2. Do you have to "freshen" the cartridge yearly? (I heard about this by a SAAB turbo guru.)
3. Are there many with a GT35R setup running stock head and internals (besides the ARP rod bolts?)
4. I believe if you go this route (GT35R) you need a new down-pipe to fit.
5. Is using a 35-50 shot of nitrous more effective when needing quicker spool-up while racing, or is a Stroker-kit more economical. For those of us who use it for daily driving as well?
6. I am guessing the most "popular" kit bought is the AMS one. Anyone want to report how they like their RNR/Bushur/Other GT35R kits. I think the only difference is the manifold correct? a GT35 is the same, it just differs on what it "hangs" off of.

2. no idea, never heard of this ... maybe if you're running anti-lag?
3. Yes, you can run stock internals, but it will limit the powerband and how much boost you can run.
4. Good kits should come with a downpipe
5. I would go stroker over nitrous any day.
6. No, the turbo is not necessarily the same, and the exhaust manifold design will have an impact on not just how much power you make, but, more importantly, spoolup.

I made 420whp on a white rabbit at 25psi. Thing spools like stock (3100 boost threshold) and like a banshee up top.
But I don't know why I said that, no one's going to believe me.
