all depends on what you want to do. A T25 will provide faster spool up and is able to handle well over 300hp. Most ppl are using a T3 and some are using a T3/T4. I wouldn't used a hybrid unless you are gonna go for a higer hp motor. Also depends on the exhaust manifold u will be using.....for example, a HKS will only fit a T25 flange.....you can go with another manifold or get one custom made.

What is your goal whp ??

You think the t25 will be strong enough to put out those numbers. I know it can, but wont it be running our of breath around that margin of 200whp? This is what ive heard. What kinda power where you making on you're old t25?
