There are a lot of turbos that can meet your goals. What is your budget and do you really plan to push 500+ on stock sleeves?

yeah the car isnt my daily and on race gas i dont think it would be to bad to run stock sleeves until i can put together another block that is sleeved.
i mean i have 1200cc injectors so there should be enough fuel with proper tunning im thinking i can 500 to 530hp on c16.
I was looking at gt3582r and that thing was like 1385$ i just want to get less lag possible and im not so sure about that turbo anymore.

GT3076R

Nasty spool and capable of your power goals.

If you want room to grow with your future motor build then GT35R would work.

I agree with the 3076r, it is a great turbo and is more then capable enough to meet your power goals. Like mentioned above the 35r is a great unit and will be able to support a little more in the future if you want more power.

There are other options out there so dont just settle with what's popular. I've been slightly criticized for my suggestion of them, but many people have had great success with the Borg Warner S258. That turbo will make more power than you need and spools a hair slower than the GT30r. On the up side, it makes more power at higher PRs than the GT30r if you want to push it hard on race gas. It can make nearly 600whp on a great setup...

My only concern for the smaller turbochargers that are being suggested (with the exception of the S258 under 30psi) is the fact that to get 500whp out of these, they need to be pushed rather hard into their range, which may indeed increase IAT temps. As a GT3076 and GT3037R owner, I understand the limits of these turbochargers for extended periods of time. 500whp and "quick spool" should not in any way be in the same sentence. If you're trying to get both out of one turbocharger, keep dreaming; one characteristic will take over the other. The S258 and S362 will still run over 1300 bucks, as well as the GT35R. I'd look again at the GT3540S and T67 for the same power levels at about $1000 or s, without the responsibility of the additional water / coolant lines that you'll need to run. Besides, you'll have enough trouble controlling the car on the street for over 400whp anyway, so "lag" is the least of your worries.

GT3076r, SC61, T3/T04e 60 trim with a .82 turbine housing, or a Holset HX35.

thanks guys for all the info and all the suggestions are great, im doing plenty of research on all the turbos you guys have suggested.
I want some room to grow just in case my motor breaks and i have to sleeve it. I dont want to have to buy a new turbo, but then again i want the a happy medium as i use the car now.

One Pump will do the job fine.

And I was waiting from someone to put a Jeff Evans (super high) dyno of the GT3076R. As for your S362 vs SC61 question; the S362 is much more potent in the top end
