I can tell you off hand that the GT 40-series turbos are monsters and larger than the 35-series turbos. To give you an example, Buschur runs the GT42r on his 8-second EVO. For your goals, I wouldn't even entertain these turbos at all but again at the end of the day it's your money. How much are they selling for? I'll bet somewhere around the $4K mark without even looking at their site. As far as the difference between the HTA 3582r and GT 3582 is concerned, the HTA would cost more due to the HTA "treatment" it has compliments of our friends at Forced Performance. Basically the HTA35r comes with a 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet anti-surge ported compressor housing. The benefits of the "treatment" however is about a 300-400 earlier spool potential. The question is do you spend the money or can you wait about a second for the GT3582r to kick in? If you are thinking about the HTA35r, I would go with the 0.63 turbine housing set at low boost (25-29PSI or so) to minimize the lag and the next level would be to add meth and run it at 25PSI for normal driving with the ability to run it at 30PSI in "kill mode". Did you check out those average whp/wtq comparisons I posted? I hope I answered your questions. Boost on!

I'm over Fred's house and I see where your mind is at. The closest that you could achieve that goal of yours without the meth kit and sticking strictly to pump gas without an enormous amount of lag would be running the GT3076r with the 0.63 turbine housing at about 30-32PSI.

Sabot - This is Fred. The GT40 series are a little more then you likely want, I would only go that route if you are ready to build everything (motor, drivetrain,etc). Otherwise, you should go the 3582 route.

Pedro, not to make anything more complicated...
If you take a look at the average whp and wtq of the three turbos in question that I posted above, it will give you a fairly good idea of where these turbos rack and stack against each other.
At the end of the day, the GT3076r with either the 0.63 or 0.82 turbine housing would be ideal for your goals on pump gas followed closely by the HTA35r with the 0.63 turbine housing.

LOL,
Okay, so today I stopped by Auto*** to pick up a few parts and I decided to park behind the dealership, over near Best Buy. What do I notice but a brand new Evo X (Octane Blue), then I see another OC X, parked near a GG X, as I walk around back I see a RR X sitting at the dealership, looked like it was getting ready for repairs.
So here's my question, was there a get together? You can't all work at Shoe Carnival.
JK. It was cool to see so many Evo X's around.
Maybe I'll upgrade my RR RA next year and go full on Evo!

I don't know what it is with me and second cylinders but I've encountered the same exact thing as before. This time, Wendy and I were just leaving the drive way.
Bryan, do you have that other coil pack that you can sell to me?
I'm in the process of putting in some NGK BPR8ES spark plugs as we speak and the 1st, 3rd, and 4th cylinders are squared away (gapped at 0.026). Bottom line, does anyone know why or what would cause a spark plug from not seeding properly?

With Mybrute infection...
I did some research, it seems the only way you get this warning is if you are running both IE and Norton. No one else is experiencing this issue and many think its a false positive. I got this information of the norton boards.

I see, being an aluminum head, the threads might be bad or debris maybe stuck in the threads in the spark plug hole, I have a borescope that we can use to see the threads, and a tap and die set, if we need to clean them up a bit.
