If you want twins, a pair of 2860R -5's will get you into the 500's. A big single might be a better bet for space constraints. I think a GTX3076R would do nicely with more top end and similar early spool as the twins would give.

Two GT35's will lag the piss out of you, drag yes, drift no. The GTX is basically the same BB GT turbo with the exception of a cnc billet compressor wheel with updated more efficient aerodynamics for more power and less whine noise.

i think the GTX3576R would be good the GTX3076R turbine is pretty small for a high reving 6 cylinder IMO

no, thats way to much turbo for 550-600whp, a single gtx3576R will net you 550whp on 25psi or so id guess...
