| garrett makes the gt series turbos. a gt35R with a .70a/r will take you well into the 500's on a gsr |

| as long as you run a proper -3an feed line, the restrictor is probably not necessary. |

| I talked this over with my cousin and he's running a -4 with .035 restrictor. He suggests that even with a -3 line i should still run a restrictor? he is also running a gt35r (his is a real garrett haha) on a built nissan 2.4 |
