Over kill?

[Boomdeeze]

I am looking to buy a used GT3582R for 825 and i was just wonderig if it would be overkill for my 350-400 awhp goal. I want a turbo that can hold boost all the way to redline, and i want to be pushing 20-22 psi. If anyone has any suggestions on a better turbo for what im looking for im all ears.

I also forgot to mention that the turbo has only been used on a few pulls and is basically brand new. He said that the turbo has a little shaft play but thats only because its a dual BB turbo and all have a little bit of shaft play. Is this also correct? Im not too familiar with the ball bearing turbos, but i know they spool quicker and can handle some power.

While the gt35 is a great turbo, for your goals I would say it's over kill since you can hit that goal with a big 16g or some variant of the 16g such as an 18g, but for that price I would say pick it up anyways and either save it for later or sell it to get supporting mods for a smaller turbo.

GT35R is way overkill for that . id go 50 trim ( after supporting mods of course.) it will reach that goal easily with a good running car, and you will have alot better spool up. Im not sure about the shaft play and whatnot being normal, im sure someone else will chime in to help.

Hell yeah, that's way too big. Just go with an HX35 or a good 50 trim.

a good ol 20g will do it easily
