gt35r is a small turbo for a single turbo setup on a ls1... You will max out the turbo real quick. Lag will not be an issue as its small and dual ball bearing. If you are set on single a t70 is smallest you should even consider, but most got with a t76. If you are set on the 35 get 2 of them.

thanks ive just heard alot about the gt35r being a good turbo but didnt know alot of info on it to be truthful. i was looking at the t76 before i came along the gt35r, but hadnt heard much but apparently that is the way to go.

i also considered a large single turbo setup ie t88 or bigger but i heard lag was real bad and that large singles were mostly for drag cars running constant high rpms
