yeah pretty small but its a decent starter turbo if you just want to be boosted. but you will get bored pretty quick with it and want to upgrade.

thanks for the info

yeh I know it is small

i got it for free though...

i want to do a very cheap setup, 8psi would be nice for my d15...

so when i order the oil line kit, do i order it for a t25 or a gt17?

Quick question about turbos in general really, But say I had this turbo and I had another T25 could I swap The exhaust side housing? Or not possible unless its a proper t25 as well?

Just make a cheap highflow t3. Use frontside compressor from a t3 (gtst skyline,volvo etc) and mate with Rx7 series one turbo , the exhaust housing. Sounds confusing but it works a dream
