I would think that this might be one of the most abysmal Auto X setups out there...this turbo doesn't even start spooling until 4500 RPM, and then the boost hits so hard that you have to shift a second later to avoid blowing your motor...It would make a pretty good drag turbo with some tuning so your bottom end had some get up and go...Your run like a Forester before the turbo hits and then you are GOOONE.

My two cents.

gt35r + autox = cardiovascular workout gone wrong... gt35r doesn't always spoll at 4500, they even spool earlier at 3800 to low 4g's from some cars i've read up on, depends how ur tune's set up i suppose. but having a gt35r turbo which is known to cause a spine imprint on the seat is pretty dangerous in a autox world IMO..

And I guess you autox at below 4500RPM. Proprely tuned and setup car with GT35 will be awesome for autox. And, unless you are building a DEDICATED autox race car, you should consider other factors. Like overall fun factor and performance.

I am currently running a TD06-18g on my 2.5l hybrid. This setup would rule in auto x. Very useable midrange power. Lacks top end but, how fast do you need to go from 120mph to 140 mph.
Proper tuning is always a plus. A GT35's spool charactistics just don't mate very well for this purpose.
