yea i would say the gt35r, as this seems to have the most potential. If i was running that big of a turbo i deff would want to run an EWG. This will improve your power potentials.

what mods do you have and is money a problem?
i dont have big turbo like those but i have a FP Green, and i had a fmic, downpipe and intake allready on the car with the stock turbo and i didnt want to spend money on those parts again to get a rotated in. so i stayed with the stock location turbo to save a few bucks. but if i was stock and did i turbo kit all at once it would of been a rotated mount.

Hey how is your lag and drivability for everyday driving vs a fp red?

Man do I remeber being in your shoes...one turbo one day and another the next.
The choices we have to make...

the lag isnt that bad, it's way overrated. My setup spools pretty quick for a "large" turbo, but not sure about a comparison to a red. I'd guess they'd be comparable.

quicker spooling turbos are very fun to drive, but do not give you the adrenaline rush of a 35r. there is virtually no lag when you go from a launch, or a downshift.

I recently bought another 04 STi, and it has the stock vf39, headers, helix dp, hks catback, typhoon intake, shifter, etc. After arriving home from my 5 hr trip I was bored with the car, missed the big turbo. I havent driven it since bringing it home.

I hit 26.5 lbs of boost by 4200 rpm with my Red on meth. And 18 lbs by 3200-3300. And my tune is not aggressive at all.

I like how burnin' 4 said how the 35r is an adrenaline rush.

Out of curriosty why did you get another STi?

On the topic my red is on the way and i cant wait to get it tuned. it will be on meth with an external wastegate. the only reason i got it over the rotated mount set up was cost. i should be able to make comparable #'s to a 35R on the stock motor.

I found a guy that wanted to unload a nicely moddified 04 STi, pretty cheap. I turned around and sold after removing a few parts. It helped pass some time until TopSpeed finishes my built block/ported heads!!!

here's a pic of it http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...t=DSC02490.jpg

haha you bought another sti to pass time, your my hero.

A Red on meth is too.

[ride_the_pony69]

Cool, thats a very nice STi.

To tell you the truth, I am on a budget. I know for going all out I shouldn't be, but I am. I plan on running an EWG setup on meth as well. I'm shooting for 450-500whp w/ *somewhat* good reliability for daily driving. I am kinda leaning towards the red because of cost considering I have the TBE, cobb stage 2, and a few other goodies to go along.

Do any of you know how the SZ65 compares w/ the red?
