you cant go AWD with it unless you spend huge dollars. or if you have a spyder. if it is a spyder you can swap it

if its not a convertible then it is not even worth the time or money. Youd be better off just getting an AWD from the start for cheaper than it would cost to try to make it work on a GS-t coupe

That turbo will be overkill and you wouldnt be able to utilize it unless you get some motor work done, with some more supporting mods.. Your prolly lookin at about 2500-3000 just in supporting mods.. Thats if you do all the work yourself.

the clutch all depends on the power you want and what kind of car you want... if a daily driver DEFINATLY a street disk, if a track car ONLY definatly a 4 or 6 puck. anything under 450 i'd say the act 2600 andything above - 2900

Yeah if it's a DD car then I wouldnt reccomend a 35r or any HX turbo especially not on a non-rebuilt 7bolt. With an HX35 or HX40 you wont see full boost on a stock motor till probably near 5500 or 6000 rpm... if its a street car and you still want to make soem big power I do a Bullseye 50 trim http://www.slowboyracing.com/estore/...335&page=1or Slowboy 50 Trim http://www.slowboyracing.com/estore/...191&page=1. Slap on a different head gasket, studs, injectors, fuel pump, full exhaust, AFC, and a wideband and possibly some cams to increse the spool time and you should be making near 450 wheel. And would run a low 12 and possibly dip into the 11s on a good clutch and good tune.

Why do you keep asking what do you need to run some type of turbo. The real question you should be asking yourself and us is, what do i need to get X ammount of HP or run such and such a 1/4 mile time. Because those are the ultimate goals, not how can i run some turbo that you dont even know the efficiency ranges for or what boost i need to run in order to even make the turbo useful
