What Turbo to use?

I have a Speedcraft turbo setup and I am looking to change the exhaust side of the kit.

New turbo, wastegate, exhaust manifold and piping to the intercooler.

What is the best turbo for up to 600 hp and as fast spooling time as I can get.

Any thoughts?

GT35R.

The GT3082R is a bit small for 600 whp. The turbine side will definitely limit your power potential. The compressor would do it (it's what's used on the GT35R), but the turbine is really stressed past 500 whp. This specific turbo has never made much sense to me... I've always preferred the GT3071R and GT3076R over the GT3082R- the wheel sizes are just way too different for my tastes.

The GT35R will still spool quickly and should let you get over 500 whp on pump gas with the proper tuning/engine. With race gas, 600 whp should be easy.
