Default GTX30R VS. GTX35R

so i know everyone has their opinions on what is the better turbo and i was looking to see what those opinions were. i'm upgrading here soon and i don't know which one to get. i'm leaning to the 30R with a 1.06A/R mostly because it's about 500 bucks cheaper than the 35R. most of my driving is done on the street. i do a little drag racing but getting to the strip isnt as easy as it used to be and there are some road corses here i want to try but they arent exactly close either.

30X will provide a better power band Jim.

When you are looking to do 500+whp, that's when the 35R starts to separate from the 30R. That's what I recall Brian telling me from when he spoke to MrC about the same decision.

i don't know what my power goal is anymore honestly. i think Dawg has shown me that there is such thing as too much power with the tc so i'd say around 400ish maybe a lil more

Ha..tell that to Rado. With additional power comes the need for additional tools to harness that power.

Hahaaa...Go Big or Go Home

I probably won't ever have a wing like he does, but I do want some massive canards on the front bumper along with the splitter. I'm going to hang Rado's old wing I have now, on the wall and upgrade to a Kognition one when I get funds. $1500 for a wing!

Its a lot stronger. You can literally sit on Kognitiondesign wings. Sit on an APR and watch it snap in half. The end plates are larger on the Kognitiondesign one as well.
