I am debating what turbo to get. My best bet is the GT3540R.

My goal : 500rwhp.
My use : Street Use...

I have just done an engine rebuild, all intake, exhaust and fuel mods.

The GT3540R is alot more expensive than the other turbos.
Spools alot faster too.

Is the performance of the Gt3540R very noticeable from the other turbos?

Basically I am just trying to justify to myself that this turbo is worth the money...mainly because I have not been in a supra with this turbo.

What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Roy

I have a Garrett GT35r and I love it. I don't know if it is the same as what you're talking about Roy, but I think it is.

Is the GT3540R the T4 footprint? GT35R aka GT3540 is a T3 footprint iirc.

It's most readily available in T3. With T4 you are much more limited on housing options so you need to shop around to find the best for you. A call to HPF may be helpful cause they can source several Garrett resellers.
