This is a serious turbo, you would need major supporting mods to run this. It's bigger than my GT35R, see 'my scooby' to give you an idea of suppoting mods required.

I have seen one going cheap on another forum too I was advised against it by a very respected tuner. I was told it's similar to a GT35/42. However if your car is just for serious drag work etc then it may be an option, but there are very few pushing 600-700 on a 2.5 tbh. If your wanting to use your car on the road then smaller maybe better. Are you running a rotated set up already ? If not there are standard position turbos that now have proven circa 550 bhp capabilty

There are other turbos from other sources but I am no expert, but I do have personal experience of Marks MD turbos and they are superb !

m800scooby,
Try AET Turbo's. I run one of their latest standard fit and have seen 500bhp at the hubs recently. Low down torque is unreal.
