Right now I have a SCM61 turbo on my car and like it a lot. I don't mind the turbo lag, it doesn't bother me that much and I love the power it puts down and how it pulls. The turbo is like new with no shaft play or any damage at all.

I found a gt35r at a local shop that they are willing to sell me for 900 bucks. The gt35r is brandy new.

My question is, Is this change going to be worth the time or the money? I understand is ball bearing and all but I guess I am not sure if it will be worth the money to switch over. Also how does a gt35r perform on pump gas, the scm61 I have with pump gas and 20 psi took me to 11.8. I don't want to give up my scm61 for a slower setup.

Mitsu bolt-on GT35R? You need to go with a full Garrett setup :D Something around 75lbs per minute.
