Gt3582r vs gtx3582r
 

Hey everyone'

As you've probably seen from my other posts, Im in the process of replacing my CHRA out of my GT3582. I have the option of upgrading my CHRA to a GTX3582 for an additional cost. Im trying to figure out if the upgrade is worth it. I have an IP stage 1 kit making approx 400 wheel with the 35 @ 14psi. From what Ive read, it seems the gets really shines at higher boost levels with a little added midrange in lower levels. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Thanks

my understanding is the GTX will produce more power and only spool minimally slower. Its ideal to outshine the GT series turbo with higher boost ie. E85 applications. While it might not be such a huge advantage at the 400whp range, the potential will be there for more power, resale will be higher, and its new technology turbo...if it doesnt break the bank for you, id say go with the GTX model...

i do not have personal experience with either turbo, but for the kit im getting, i went with the GTX turbo because it was only a $300 difference... and the potential alone was worth it to me.

The GTX should spool Minimally "faster" not slower. As long as your talking about the same frame size models and just GT/GTX difference... everything else the same tho.

Glad you got ur ol lady to come around memo :thumbup: lol
I as well can't use my experience tho. because the gt3582 was a TS, and the gtx3582 I have now is a t4 open scroll lol you can see the difference between both on my new build thread tho. The Dyno graph has my new plot overlapping the old kit.

gtx35 gen2 :thumbup:
Same price as the first gen gtx. These turbo's are a big upgrade compared to the first gen gtx or gt

Just make sure the turbo will fit before you buy it. If I remember correctly I think inline pro had used a slightly smaller compressor housing for the 35r to allow it to fit in the tight space.

So it appears the cost isn't worth it. I can get a standard GT CHRA for ~500 and a GTX adds an additional 700 onto that. Speaking with Jeff Evans, unless you're running 20+ psi, it isnt worth the price difference. Also, yes the IP kit uses a smaller 3" compressor housing so I doubt the larger 4" will fit without some extreme modification.
