HX35 ftl.... That IS a big laggy turbo for people on a budget, no offense.

The people saying gt30's are laggy either haven't used them or maybe you say that as an excuse to make you feel better for not being able to afford one.

A gt3071 will spool AT LEAST as fast as a 2871 if not faster. It is the same compressor wheel with a easier breathing exhaust wheel and scroll. Think about it..

I use a Precision billet wheeled 5858 .63a/r which is closer to a gt35 sized wheel and it spools almost identical to the 56trim 2871 .72a/r that I used before. (2 liter sr)

Compressor size is not the only contributing factor. Exhaust scroll size can significantly change a turbo's personality.

With all that being said, if you want to max out around 400whp, go with a gt/gtx28xx.

If you want to go above that (450-500) then you need to be using a 30r framed turbo.
