Yeah. You should only put a turbo that big on your car if you want lots of lag.
WIth E85 or racefuel, you can hit 600whp on an FP Red.
Only getting 379whp out of a GT35 turbo is not great. And you've lost all the spool of a smaller turbo.
If I had a TME, I'd use an HTA71 with a TiAL hotside. That would be a decent sized turbo that would spool well.

TMEs are in demand, and skyrocketing in value. Don't do anything that isn't reversible.
That said, I would do what alpinaturbo did with his TME prior to switching to a T4 setup - max out a HKS 7460 GTII turbo on E85, build a good setup around it, and enjoy the hell out of it.

It's possible. All I know is the Evo 123 platform (I do have a HTA68)... 456789 and their setups are all voodoo to me, especially on E85. I have seem some nutty dyno charts from the HKS turbo though.
HKS turbo is great all around compromise on stock block TME.
You can push it on pump and/or get FiTronic like I did and also use E85.
71HTA definitely will not outperform HKS, that is well understood based on results and specs- but 71HTA is cheaper: just keep in mind all OEM turbo crack turbine - so HKS solves another potential issue.
Next step is like I am doing T4 Twin Scroll EFR7163: on pump stock block is ok, on E85 need to forge.
TME is about the chassis, power will compliment overall package but don't focus on it and create a compromised drag car- TME is much more than that.
Is your TME LHD?

Yes it’s a LHD , regarding the turbo I already bought the Precision 6466 Dual ball bearing.
