T25, T3, IHI Rb5
in your guys opinion which would be good for a max of 8 psi? I heard the ihi turbo's run out of steam up top. But shouldn't it hold 8 psi all the way? As for the t3 i was thinking .42/.48 If you had to rank them, which would be the best for low 6-8 psi?

Re:T25, T3, IHI Rb5
I'd go T3, that way later on when you upgrade the manifold will already be setup for something bigger like a t3/t4.
Next I would say go with the T25, they spool pretty good on d-series, and make power decently up to 12psi.
IHI would be the last choice, its definatly the easiest one to work with (since its so small) but really runs out of steam on d16 on the higher boost levels. But god damn they spool fast.

Re:T25, T3, IHI Rb5
Im running the ihi, and it seems to be set at 9 psi on teh stock wastegate, pull hard, and i havent noticed run outta steam yet, but i havent had it above 6800, scared to, pulls so hard. Spool time, leaking exhaust before the turbo, is nice, i hit 5 psi at like 2000 rpms, but then i wont hit 9 until 3300, but thats becasue of the exhasut leak, i bet ill hit 9 psi at 2800 with it all sealed up.
