They can do about 210hp before they go way out of their efficiency range. I've heard that the massively huge exhaust housing is good for up to 350hp with a properly sized compressor. The compressor side of this turbo is completely identical to a T25, and it shares the same bearings/seals. Are there many compressor options for a T25?

I love when people can get the ---- together and out-do the qualtiy of those super expensive 'mass produced' pieces!
bead blast that bitch and she'll be beautiful!

Took a day making the flanges, 3 nights routing pipes and tacking up, 2 nights welding.
And the car is a Suzuki Vitara, 2" suspension lift, 4" body lift, 35" all-terrain radials.
Engine has modified stock pistons, CR is about 8.9:1. I'm working on getting custom pistons, dropping the CR to about 8.0:1... One thing at a time, until then I'll be running 0.8 bar. This car has been running boosted since january last year with a much smaller turbo.

Those are some nice fat looking welds. You did use TIG all the way right? I need to save up a grand for a TIG welder.
Your piece looks pretty damn close as to how I would have had it - good job!
I can see you've done your research, the support pieces are right where they should be.
