Should be what you need, if not, they should carry it.

The KKK turbos have a double seal on the turbine side and are not as finicky.. The garrets always seem to need a restrictor. Do you still have the AOS plumbed into the inlet or is it vented to atmos.? They seem to need to be plumbed back in on a street car from what I have found.

Ive been running a GT35R HTA turbo on my 951 for a couple of months and it spools quite quick although I need a new gasket between the crossover and the turbo inlet

Sorry about the delayed response I have been quite busy lately.
I am running a stock 2.5 longblock with mild headwork, SFR stg 1 headers, custom crossover, 3" exhaust (downpipe to muffler), TEC3r, custom IC. I am seeing 1 bar ~3700 but I do have a leak at the turbo inlet which I just have to find the time to replace the gasket. It is also running rich as I cannot tune it for better spoolup until the leak is fixed.

Under the circumstances that's still very early boost for a big (for us) turbo.

If it's a ball bearing turbo you need a restrictor installed at the oil inlet of the turbo. Without a properly sized restrictor you will blow oil everywhere since the OE KKK turbos were journal bearings and required oil pressure, not splash lubrication like a ball bearing. Garrett determines what size orifice you need from the oil pressure of your model of engine.
could this fix the problem even after 10 years?

BB turbo, 10 years ago?
BB turbos do need a restrictor, so you that could be the issue - but I would first confirm that you actually have a BB turbo...
