My mates looking into turbos and has found a gt35r turbo at a very good price. He was asking me if it will fit and run ok but i don't know, has anyone fitted one or know if it will fit and run ok. He is going to mod quite abit and get it live mapped.
I said if it does fit he will have to have the boost low as it will push some serious air.
His coop is a standard 20vt with low mileage at the moment.

Any feedback on this would be much appreciated

Cheers Ash

Im no expert but a large turbo running low boost aint a great idea is it? it wont be running efficently and you'll see little benefit opposed to a smaller turbo - slower spooling?

How much is a good price? what its compared to a superspool/GT28R etc and what performance gain is he looking for?

Thanks for your reply, a good price is cheaper then a superspool/gt28r. He wants about 370bhp on the rollers and then drop it to about 320/330 for everyday driving. He wants high bhp on paper for when hes selling it .

Cheers Ash

Yes but it's not going to be as simple as bunging on that turbo and wayhay I've got 370BHP.

If only it was.

I know of one person who has it bolted to his car, but is awaiting for it to be mapped. But unless your mate is looking at 550 - 650bhp, then there is no point in fitting such a large turbo. He wont have spool up till at least 4400rpm!

Thanks for all your reply's i will let him know to get a gt28rs. I know it's not as simple as bolting on, it would make life so much easier .

Thanks again Ash

I'd actually look at the GT28RSR.

A GT35R is way too big Go with Matty's suggestion of a GT28RSR from Torque Italia for the best 350bhp+ on a Coupé You'll need more than the turbo bolt on to get it so best to get the full monty from them.

nice stats their Flea

A guy I know has a GT3540R on a 4AGE, He only runs lowish boost and makes around 350HP+. Im sure it has a lot of lag but he says it goes very well. It is a race car though.

Looking at the turbo it does look huge so will be very laggy. My mate is looking into a gt28rsr as he already has the v band adapter.
Thanks for all your reply's, when he asks me about another turbo i will post up again for advise.

Cheers all

Ash

He really needs to get rid of the v-band adaptor and get a 5-stud downpipe if he wants to make the most of a GT28 Turbo.

I don't reckon you'd see full boost on a well prepped 2.0 engine with a GT3582R (gt3540/gt35R) until 4800rpm or thereabouts.
