Rep Power: 0 T25 or T3\T04E turbo ????
after reading another thread on turbo stuff on this site it got me thinking. okay would i want a decent size turbo .... like a T3/T04E that would give me some turbo lag. but would be better over all top end. or would i prefer to go with a T25 from a GST or talon. which would spool up rather quickly but not be good at top end. and with my setup i wish to break the 200hp range. also i'm not cutting corners with this setup ... low compression pistons and rods .. with a port and polished head are gonna be put on as well. so the real decision is T25 or T3/T4 ... i can't make up my mind now

Rep Power: 488 ya im wonderin the same thing. only think makin me want the t3/t4 over the t25 is that i would probally want more power in the future and this way i would have to get a whole new turbo for that.

Rep Power: 0 yea .... your thread about the talon T25 is what made me start thinking. i know if i did the low comp. pistons and rods with a pnp head i should be putting down some serious numbers. so i dont think a T25 would hold up to the amount of power i want in the long end.

Rep Power: 488 ya another thing is how much money you wanna spend initially. you can get a talon turbo for $50 and with a $100 rebuild kit it would be brand new, while a a good t3/t4 can cost anywhere from $500-800

Rep Power: 0 well i can afford both setups actually .. but there's other things to add to the mix .. my 5spd swap .. built bottom end with internals. and yea a brand new garrett T25 w/ internal wastegate is like 250 compared to the t3/t04e that was 550 without a wastegate

Rep Power: 0 What about the GT28? I saw one for around $800 the other day. You could probably find them for even cheaper than that. If you aren't worried about price, that's not that much more expensive than the hybrids.
