Thats pretty sad considering I made 450/475@24lbs on a Turbonetics Ceramic ball bearing 50trim
And at 24 psi your 50 trim is about to take a shit, while this turbo made 440 at 20 psi and is barely breathing and will run as high as 35psi.
Good try though.

Absolutely false! You are right about them not being a comparison though. That GT35R will obviously outshine the 50 on higher boost since it is alot bigger.
I think it outshines a 50trim even on lower boost levels...
Having had both turbos, my GT35R would walk my 50trim setup at 20psi, 22psi, 24psi, 30psi, ect...
In fact the 35R at 22psi and C16 feels as strong as what my 50trim at 30psi did with this exception, the 50trim you can feel it run out of steam towards redline, begging to be shifted, where the 35R pulls hard and strong all the way to redline with no noticable drop off in power, this thing just slams you in the seat and pulls and torque steers like a runaway freight train.
However, this isn't a fair comparision, because the 35R is on a fully built engine, where as when I had the 50trim I was on a stock engine.
You look at many of the 50trim dyno graphs floating around here you will notice after this turbo hits its peak power numbers, it tends to drop off rather significantly by the time it hits redline, and you don't see this with a 35R, notice my 50trim graph:
This is the highest HP we got out of the 50trim, boost was 30psi, notice you will see HP drop and TQ plummet towards redline.
Now observe the GT35R chart, HP holds steady and TQ falls alittle but not at the rate of the 50trim... GT35R chart was at 35 - 38 psi? Boost guage only goes upto 30...
When we were dynoing, the GT35R held HP/TQ at lower boost levels all the way to redline.
Now don't misunderstand me, as I love the 50trim and I have 1st hand experience with it, it can be quite potent and strong on pump gas, but the GT35R is simply a stronger and meaner and a more violent snail, this thing loves higher boost and C16! But I will also add even with pure pump and a mere 17 - 18 psi, the GT35R is still a tough out, atleast on my car.
