nosechunks said:One more thing i keep seeing the gt35/40r thats just a gt35r with a gt40 compressor wheel correct? how would that turbo compar to an off the shelf gt3582r??

GT35R = GT3582R = GT35/40R
They all have the same 82mm 56 trim compressor wheel. So that's where the 82 (GT3582R) comes from. I think this compressor may have originally been in the GT40 (non-R) and that's where the 40 (GT35/40R) comes from.
(EDIT: As posted above there is a difference in trim between the GT35R compressor and the GT4082 (50 trim), which is why it has a smaller inducer, but that just has has to do with how it is machined, they likely come from the same casting which is why they have the same major diameter.)
I'm looking at the same turbo, and from what I've seen/read it will be plenty for 500hp, since the general concensus is the factory 600hp rating is conservative. I'm also planning on the .82 A/R turbine housing and spinning to ~7K rpm. I haven't decided on a T3 or T4 inlet yet though since I will be making my own manifold.
