Haha first of all, what's a GT37? You mean GT3071? or GT3076?

Either of the GT30-series turbos would work fine, a real GT37xx (which I've never heard of) would be way too large.

Oh, and KA-T's suck. :keke:

If ur talking about the GT37 series garrett then i would say it would suck for drift. The turbo wouldn't fully spool until probably 6k+. IMO go with either a 2871r or a 30 series if you want to drift.

People with evo's spool the gt37r turbos at the same rpm as the 35r... So if u rev to the moon... Go for it.

900 is a bit much on a gt37 but is do-able. too big for what you are looking for. 2.0 evo ix made full boost on our dyno around 6k. about 1k later than the gt35r. a gt37 is the same as a t67...

A GT37 is horrible for drifting.

272 Cams are horrible for drifting.

The biggest GT37(The GT3788) flows 65 lbs/min. There is no way of supporting 900WHP with a GT37.

The 37 is similar to the 35 but the 37 has a broader map up top(high boost).

I would sell it and run a GT2876 or GT3071.

GT2871R is a good turbo for drifting. Very quick response with a tubular manifold and a greddy elbow.

I personally made 841awhp on a dynojet with a gt37r. Thats not far off of 900.

truely if i were you i'd get a peakboost twin scroll mani and twin scroll 3071r. You'll be putting down over 400hp with a decent spool. That's the setup that i'm going to run on mine. And you should be able to go low 11's in the 1/4.
