Ask any of the vendors who make Subaru turbos what they want. Blouch, FP, SixStar, etc.

What are you talking about?!

He said if you are going to spend money, might as well be a 35r.

Nothing wrong with that statement. Its a perfectly good turbo size for a Subaru.

So again, how did anyone be an *** you in this thread again?!

Gt35r is not a car...




You got perfectly good advice, but you didn't even bother to research his suggestion. You simple assumed he was talking about a R35 GTR and responded with some sly remark about likeing the R34 more.



Google GT35R and then google R35 GTR... You're going to get different results...

sounds like a great reason to find yourself a VF39/VFxx and upgrade.

Dude it was a typo he wasn't being an *** I know a Garrett GT 35 R is a perfectly good turbo it's a little on the big side for what I want but it was a good suggestion I was saying I was being a smart a** off about r34 skyline it was completely off topic

The other thing about gt35r is that I would need to change my down pipe and up pipe get a waste gate and do a new tune for it and that's a lot of money for an upgrade when I have not even maxed the td04 with the tune I have. I dive my car every day and need to smog it and I already need to swap a lot of parts off to do that. I was thinking about that turbo for my rx7 but not for my subie
