Re:14B vrs. T-25
T25's are considered t2 small for a reason.I ran a t25 as my first turbo on my old crx.It spooled quick but seemed to lose power quickly.Since my crx was auto i chose the perfect cheap turbo.A fully ported and clipped 13g out of a auto 1g dsm.I ran 1 bar and whupped some ***.

The greddy TD04-15G is VERY small !! The inlets and outlets are just pitiful... The wheel is "bigger" than my WRX TD04L-13T, but the WRX turbo can walk all over the SOhc greddy turbos...
There is more to a turbo than its compressor wheels size, the housings are a big factor too...
As for the question about the T-25... I say rock the T-25 !! It'll be so much fun driving around with quick and almost instant boost, but after you get "owned" by a lot of other cars that you "think you should beat", you can switch over to the 14B and kick there *** ( but you'll always remember the good ole days, when torque was just a 16% throttle away )..
TD04L-13T is the best mid-ground IMO... 10psi+ at 2700rpms and not even a hint of power failing off... The 2.0L WRX runs it at 14ish PSI, so you know its just chill'n on a 1.6L sohc civic making 10psi ( in my case ).
My 3.0L stealth is getting 2 TD05H-14bs ( 1.5L times 2 ).

2nd gear... I gotta keep my eyes on the road during first, or I'd prob. be parting out a wrecked turbo civic, hehe.
4300rpms is WAY !!! WAY !!! too slow of a spool for a wrx turbo !!! I have a 2.25'' DP, stock 1.5'' cat-back, AND 8.4/1 compression !!! And I still get lightning fast spool !! Sounds like your wastegate isn't quite sitting on the turbine housings...
Also...The WRX turbo is a little hard to work with as far as mounting, hehe...
