You dont need a 35R to make 500hp. A 30R will get you there with less lag.

^^^ This. ^^^

If your budget allows it, you can't go wrong with the GT-3076R for that power level. For something a little cheaper, with a similar powerband, look into the billet Precision 5857. The BW S series turbos (preferably the S258) are a nice choice. And as Alex stated, the Reaper and Silver Surfer are prime choice Garrett units that fit the bill, also.

My 84mm GSR with a GT30R made 550whp. That was at 25psi with it falling to 23 at 9k

Garrett GT3076r. You cant go wrong. On a b series the spool is awesome. Buddy of mine just installed it on his car and made 543whp with a 30r .63 hotside.

I used a cast wheel precision 5857 journal bearing turbo last year and it had an awesome powerband. I made 450ish on only 16lbs.

You'd be pushing that 30R to make 500whp though - he didn't state whether it was stock block or sleeved block.

Either way there would be little to no room to grow after with a 30R, I stick to my original recommendation - 35R, 6262, Reaper

It was on a 84mm sleeved block that made the 543whp on race gas. My brother had a stock sleeve LS a couple years back with his old set up on the 3076r it made 506whp at 22psi on race gas. It can be done and not so hard.
