t25 has a great spool time..

the t3 is a little slower but flows more.

40/48?

go with the t25... trust me on this one man... you wont enjoy the t3 as much... itll be a bit laggy for ur car... even the smaller 42/48 would... and u wont be able to blow off in neutral Also the t25 will maximize ur power early is definitely more efficient at 5 - 8 psi. Also your tranny will live longer

I'd go with a T3 if it was my car, the T25 definatly will spool faster, but does not have nearly as much room for improvment as a T3. Plus later down on the road if you want to upgrade to a hybrid turbo, you will already have the T3 flange. But basically IMO, if it comes down to costs, and your in one of those situations, get whichever is cheaper, because they are both fun

bingo! Honda Tuning maxed out a t25 on their budget boost crx at 14psi @ 211WHP. a t3 40/42 or whatever it is would probably put down 240. you should also know these guys were using a hondata too.

I went with a T3 super 60 for my Accord and will hopefully have no problems. So i would go with the T3 because it gives you the room alter to add soemthing bigger or hybrid.

I talked to greg leone last night (that's the guy who's car that is and who wrote the articles) he's still using the same turbo as before only now he sent it out to FP to ecoe a big T28. I like the T25, and I believe there is definite room for improvement with a dsm turbo.
