The RnR GT35R W/equal length manifold works absolutely perfect. On our 2.4 we recently made 615 ft lbs of torque. The key to make this kind of power is the header design and the bigger motor.


I would honestly recommend the 35R with the stroker motors or our big block 2.4. It spools really fast and makes the perfect daily driver.

Not sure about a GT35, but they DO now offer a ball bearing water cooled center section on all of their EVO turbo's.

www.turbobygarrett.com they have compressor maps for all their turbos. (the GT35R is water cooled)If you by from a garrett direct dealer you will get the newest design changes and best price. This is only if you can buy the header and extension housing separately. Or find a good fabricator to make those peices

If you're intending to use the T67 kit, it will come with an 8 cm exhaust housing and will choke easily when you're running it above 25 psi..believe me, have done it on a stroker. Not a good choice unless you upgrade to the 10 cm housing which will cost another 600 bucks.. better to take the GT35R...still one of the favourites around, will benefit from the extra cubes to give it even stronger and faster spoolup...
