looks incredible. love the fatties on the back 💪

whats it like on the street? is it responsive? also, how does it hook up? trying to get some driving impressions before committing.

yeah, that's my concern.... not too sure what to do now. will have to have a think about it.

I've got a tuner in mind that uses PCMTec. that behaviour sounds interesting. I'm guessing its just a total smoke show on the street with street tyres? Also, how do you activate it? Cruise buttons? Thanks for responding. I was hoping you'd jump in and offer some advice. In your experience, are there any turbo's that would hit 400rwkw on 98 with better spool characteristics than a GTX3582? This is with the usual supporting mods (valve springs, head studs, injectors, fuel pump, dump/cat/exhaust). I'm guessing the answer is yes, but that they might not be a bolt on to the factory manifold? And maybe they aren't the tried and tested turbo so might need a bit of test and learn to get the right package? I think the easy answer is probably the original answer: GTX3582 and with some PCMtec antilag magic should be plenty good enough for the street.

Good practical experience. thanks for the advice. Definitely looking towards PCMTec so will consider antilag. thanks for contributing. I'll ask the tuner about g series turbskies but if they require a manifold and other mods too, it may get a bit too spendy. I know what you mean about keeping the sprint stock or close to stock. I've owned the thing since new and have agonised over if I should mod it or not. One thing that I keep coming back to is that I don't plan to sell it in the future so any potential reduced resale value isn't really a factor. In that case why not make it exactly as I want it? its just too tempting to have one of the best platforms for mods ever made in this country and to keep it stock. Having said that, we all know plans are made to be changed... and that's why I'm really only looking at mods that are reversible and I'll keep all the stock parts.

yeah, Sprint's are numbered cars right? and the car is numbered in the low 400's... hence why I wanted roughly 400rwkw. Just feels right. guess this is one of those cases where you can't have your cake and eat it too. Thinking about this a bit differently... How will a tuned GTX3582 compare to the standard GT3582 with regards to lag? Anyone got any experience there? Given the GTX is newer tech I'd expect it to be slightly better? Thoughts?

for sure, and in normal circumstances I'd be inclined towards the GTX3576 with the expectation that it has a greater area under the curve. but my goal just has to be 400rwkw. seems a huge jump between the GTX3576 at 350-380rwkw and then the GTX3582 at 500rwkw+ Isn't there a goldilocks turbo that sits inbetween?

Thanks for the welcome. Registered 13 years ago(!) and only just made my first post. Fair to say I'm a long-time-lurker. haha yeah don't want to run E85 to hit 400rwkw and from what I've read on here, a GTX3576 won't get to 400rwkw. Most say somewhere between 350-380rwkw on 98 which is shy of my goal. My only concern with going to the GTX3582 is that I've read on here a GTX3576R is a quicker street car off the line cause it gets up and boogies earlier in the RPM range.

Gents I have a Sprint 6 and am looking at doing some upgrades. Goal is 400rwkw on 98. Given its a Sprint I'll keep stock airbox and crossover. Go with a stepped cooler, valve springs, head studs, pump, injectors, dump/exhaust etc. To achieve 400rwkw on 98 I understand I'll need to do some turbo mods as the stock 3582 won't make the power. I've been recommended going to a GTX3582. From my reading this turbo will make 400rwkw on 98 every day of the week. This isn't going to be a drag-strip monster. I want it to be quick on the street off the line. I don't want to be waiting around for boost to come in later and get dusted by smaller turbo cars until I'm making bulk grunt at high speeds/powerskidding when a heap of boost comes in later. My question is, are there better alternatives for a street driven car to achieve 400rwkw on 98? Thanks for any advice.
