What to do for a new turbo?

It all depends on the lag you are willing to live with. The .82 is going to be pretty laggy on a 2.0. That depends some on the compressor wheel and exhaust wheel too, but I would expect spool up in the 5k range.

Get a GT3561 with a .63 A/R T3 exhaust housing. It should spool faster than the 60-trim .82 and make more power.

I'll just second this, as everyone I talk to w/ this combo seems to be really happy.

I can get a gt35r for 1000 new and I think that is how much the other is going to be. I can deal with a little lag, but do you think it will be too laggy? I am not sure what size thewheels are, but I didn't think there were many variations for the wheels. I plan on throwing a 75 shot or so at it but not until it is running good first. Any idea how much the GT3561 costs? That is the turbo I was origionally thinking about. I know shane was selling them for $750 in the winter, but how much are they now. I wish I could have bought one at that price.

It is the T3 ont john L was running last year. It is a garret 60trim with a 82 ar from cheapturbo.com

A GT35R is the same turbo as a GT3561, except with a ball bearing center section. The SC61, GT3561, GT35R, FP3065, and a crap load more shop specific turbos all use the same 61mm compressor wheel. Some use different exhaust wheels and different style exhaust housings. A GT35R is the best all around bigger turbo for our cars, whether it's a 2.0l or 2.4l.

I am getting the gt35r for $950. I am getting it from iceman. He gave me a really good deal.
