A question to those of you that have fitted garrett turbos around this size.
What worked for you?
I believe that getting a GT35R with T4 compatable housing (0.63) would work best from my limited investigation.
Looking at being able to get 600hp eventually and wanted turbo that would handle it. I have an 200 block / greys+greens / RS500 intercooler already so at least I have a start, will need to think about throttle body though. (note not sure on injectors, would need siemens once got to that I assume)
What housing sizes and specs worked... what other bits did you change...
Thanks

Gavan;
what turbo do you have currently? the problem with wanting 600hp eventually means you wont be using the right turbo for the time being. That means you'll have a turbo too big and it will be nasty to drive and probably be a bit laggy
a gt3076 will get you circa 550hp with the correct other bits (cams, ported head, inlet, injectors etc), as will a Roller Bearing t4. if you want 600hp then i think you'll need to look at the gt3082(aka gt3040r)
i "think" anything over a gt3071r will have to be externally gated
with regards to the inlet, a hart inlet should do the trick nicely
