Searching on this very forum and the very information you seek about the cartridge is here.

The work was done for you 6 years ago.

And yes, 87 in the housing mouth indicates an A/R of 0.87. If it read 68 it would be the smaller 0.68 spec

Most likely it depends on the production run as to what goes on the plate.

Provided it's got the part/assembly number or the cartridge number(as per your build plate), you've got the right spec. Incidentally you will find that number may sometimes be stamped 700177-5003, or 700177-0003. Fishing around brought up the detail both on SAU and another site called Turbomaster in quick order.

I wouldn't be worried about whether it's stamped with GT2835 or not.

Sweet thanks heaps for your reply man... Now for another question and I know I could find it on here but I'll try you first lol... Do you know how much different the larger .87 a/r is in regards to lag/spool response and power than the smaller .68 housing ??

Ballpark figures for a GT3037 are in the order of 500-750rpm, and ~ 15-25rwkW depending on complete setup and tune. Bigger housing will basically push the torque curve to the right so max power figure goes up.

This unit should show a similar characteristic.

The HKS 3037 pro has a bigger turbine wheel than the 2835 but also comes in the .68 or .87 a/r same as 2835......

So would there still be the 500-750 rpm difference ? Might be less?

Would love to see a dyno comparison of the two turbo housings

Ballpark figures I think the 500-750rpm difference will be similar.

If you've got the 0.87 housing it's not going to prove easy to get the smaller one.

Past experience with the 3037 was that the bigger A/R option was better because it hung on and kept the engine making torque at high rpm. The penalty lower down isn't that great, and the bigger A/R still gave wonderfully progressive delivery.

I wouldn't say that the 2835 will be the same, but it will be fairly similar.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
