Its a brand new HKS GT2835 ball bearing turbo, T25 flange, 52T 0.73 A/R.....
My eclipse with mild mods.. I have a boost controler, HKS SSQ, HKS Mega FLow..Stock SMIC, Then a S-AFC and thats it on the fuel side.. After a pump, smic or fmic, and injectors will this turbo be a crazy everyday driver... im not up on my HKS Turbos and there isint much talk about the GT2835 on here (i did a search)... Honestly i want a fast daily driver, and i cant decide on a turbo.. i have been reading all the turbo debates on here since day one... I just dont want to get a T28 Killer or a FP Big T28 and get bored and wish i went a little bigger from the gecko. Anyway everyone has a diffrent opinon and thats cool, my friends tell me 16G all day then i hear get the FP 28... i dunno... The car has been sitting in my garage since last summer waiting for me to make up my mind...
Please no flaming you guys are pretty harsh on turbo questions!!
 
i'd say you need a set of 550's and an upgraded fuel pump,walbro255 is what everyone else uses. as far as turbos go,they don't get much better than HKS,but everyone has there own opinions.
 
Jay, next time, try tracing your car with the magic wand, copy, alter image however you want, then paste. You can see the spots you missed in front of your bumper.

You know the term is 'from the get-go' right? :)

Stick with a turbo that has been somewhat proven and tested thoroughly. FP knows what they are doing and tests shit forever before releasing it. Just my $.02; suck to see you buy some turbo that might sound good on paper but really runs like crap.
 
With a BIG16G you would have a pretty fast daily driver. Plus the BIG16G is proven and relatively inexpensive now-a-days.
