Seems like a money saver IMO. Also, a GT35R doesn't hold up to 800whp, not that I've ever seen. They're rated to ~650whp. And the GTX35R is almost 700whp. Not that that's not a lot, but you should be looking into a different turbo IMHO. Just my

to the forum, nice to see another world enter ours!
Thanks for the kind words man! Reason for picking this turbo and manifold is because I feel 500whp is a good starting point for the car. As things slowly break I will replace them with stronger parts. Once I do axles, drive shaft and a a 6 speed swap I'm going balls out 800-1000whp on pump. There are actually a lot of guys in Europe close to 1000 crank horsepower on billet 35r. These motors are capable of insaane boost levels 40psi+. A stock turbo stock motor car with a tune and exhaust can spike 30psi for example
