Still have the 18g. Power still drops off after 7k rpms because it can't feed the engine. Still getting a couple #s of boost at 2,000 rpm. Oh, and I still loose traction in 1,2, & 3rd gears when the torque comes on at around 5k rpms.
Still broke.
I still want to put a gt35r on this and see what it can really do, but unless anyone is willing/able to help me do the install and/or source the turbo, it an't gonna happen anytime soon.

Physically, the GT35 is somewhere between the size of an old T3 and a T04 frame.
It can be made to fit, but it is not a bolt-on.
You will need a special set of motor mounts, a new manifold, a new DP, new inlet and outlet pipes and a lot of BFH work to the floor pan.
FWIW, that is what it took to get a hybrid in there. Probably worth the read to look at my threads on the subject.
