I was just woundering if anyone has used this combo.

I was thinking about it awhile back, but don't think the turbo is big enough.

So do you think that a T04R would be a better choice or maybe something bigger still? I just don't want a T78 or something that big because I'd like to have a "somewhat" linear power delivery setup. While T78's are great for all out power, they do hit like a rear-end collision. Have you had any experience or know anything about the T72BB?? If so, please share! Laterz.

I think I might end up doing twin GT2835's

The 2835s spool like **** on the Supras, they are slower than a T88, or a T51. Also most guys cannot make more than mid 700s on them(~500 on a 7). For reference that's no better power than a small AR T66. Plus you cant play with other turbos like you can with a single. Expensive, lack flexibility, Buy'em Tony, and see ya at the track
BTW the big boys are running SP76GTRs, and making four digits no spray.Or, you could go twin T66s, that's another one a couple guys have done, you should have no problem spoolin those either
All in good fun Tony

check with A-spec they have been working on a GT70 turbo thats a bit bigger than the GT35/40 but has similar spool up with" like T-78 power" up top. I think it would fit your needs a bit better if your inclined to get the updated GT series Garrett Turbo Design.
