lsj turbo garrett gt35
What are your power goals first of all. Obviously not much on only 15-20psi. A 35r is going to be laggy for no reason. There are a lot of turbos out there. Pick one to match your goals
gt3071 (.63) should net you @400whp at 21psi-ish depending on the tune little laggy out of boost down low, full spool @3200
gt3076 (.63 exhaust housing) should spool up @3500-3700 rpm full boost and make 400whp+ same boost
60-1 (.63) 400+whp @21 psi full boost 4200rpm ish
5857 438whp @22 psi full boost @3500rpm
6262 .63 a/r 500+whp 25psi full boost @4000rpm
5557 .63 a/r 400+whp 25psi full boost @3200rpm
that's just the few I've tested so far, all on stock motors
6262 car w/ zzp stage II cams (no dybo stock motor, 27psi was outrunning a supercharged c5 on e85)

5557 car (only 17 psi due to leaking coolant and other issues with motor) it's the silver car in there, sorry for the long ass video didn't feel like editing (start @4:21) 317whp @17 psi bad boost controller so stopped at that

as long as it wasn't mistreated (i.e. proper oil change intervals) milage really doesn't mean much on newer motors.
tune conservative and it'll live. infe's car has been over 400whp for 2 years and @500+whp for over a year stock motor and he just pulled it apart over the weekend (no reason just wants more power) and it looked new internally, bearings were fine, crosshatches still in cylinder walls etc. granted he's under 50k miles but it more than likely would have lived for a while

I vote 5857 lol because i have one. for 400whp i would say get the ZZP S252et turbo and you should be good. Nice low end response no point in such a big turbo if your goals are not that big im not sure but i think the BNR will net you that as well and those are priced very gud as well. Hahn makes a Super 20G that bolts up as well that could make you over 400 but they use old turbo tech from what i heard do not quote me on that.
I personally always opt for the higher A/R.
there are hahn videos of a cobalt ss on youtube making 440 whp on the gt35 but i feel its too much lag for the small 2.0. I am going to go with a GTX3076 with a small ar .63, right now my 20g is plenty, but in time... and still make 500 hp compared to the gt35's 440 on our car.
Look into the gtx turbos, they were released only in the past 2/3 years.

a lot of things play into it. such low compression is going to make the turbo even laggier. it's gonna suck hardcore under the curve. now you have this peaky 440whp with no torque. never understood that build
