i tossed up between the GT-RS and 2835proS and ended up going the 2835ProS

While they are rated only 20ps apart, (GTRS 400ps vs 2835Pro 420ps) When you see the two turbos side by side, the GTRS is notably smaller everywhere! This is probably in part due to new technology, but from the looks of them the GTRS might not go as well once you start flowing big amounts of air up the top of the rev range?

So far ive only seen GTRS results up to 1bar on a RB25, anyone got results at 1.2bar?

heres my 2835ProS next to a little CT12!:

What sort of power was the GTRS pushing at 1bar on the RB25?

That's the wastegate actuator hose. It provides the actuator pod with boost pressure which opens the wastegate....why would it not last long?

As with the hi-flow...and I speak from experience...The HKS is going to be more reliable whereas the hiflow is maxing out and will need to be rebuilt after 12 -18 months. This is just a simple fact. The hi-flows don't last as long unless you start fitting oil coolers and run low boost most of the time. I ran 17psi through my 32 hi-flow and got 220rwkw on standard injectors, standard ecu. The turbo is unreliable though at that pressure. Don't get me wrong though, you get a lot more bang for your buck...but it's worth the investment for the more reliable turbo...coz at the end of the day...the turbo will self destruct before you know it has done so and you won't be prepared for the bill.

Another option is to run a nitrous anti lag system and just put the biggest friggin turbo on it that you possibly can...yeah, do that.

Surely that statement is misleading. :confused:

Hi-flow means so many different things. If it was a plain 270deg bearing turbo then id tend to agree. If it is a plain bearing turbo with 360deg thrust bearing then id expect it to handle 1.2bar without any probs (your oil cooler call makes sense as oil quality / pressure / temp is imprtant). But if its a hi-flow using a ball bearing cartridge, why would a hi-flow be any less reliable then any off the shelf Garret/HKS/IHI (ie ball bearing) turbo?
