I've been looking for this turbo for a good price for over 4 months now and can't seam to find one. The closest i got to buying one was on ebay when i was talking to the seller, about to purchase the turbo, and someone goes ahead and clicks on the "buy it now"

but hey, what can i do?.. so anyways, I've gotten a few things from you guys a while back and i just wanted to see if this can help me get the turbo im looking for...thanks in advance!

Do you really think a VF22 is going to last very long at 25psi? Why not just get something with a shaft that's bigger around than a noodle?

Yeah. This is crx2211 I just lost my account when HMT changed hands, but I got my old one back so I guess that's cool. But yeah the VF22 would have a better chance of doing 25psi, but it would still be pushing it awfully hard. Any of the smaller t3/t4's would have a better chance of being reliable at 25psi and they'd spool fast with the proper turbine set-up. That's about it if you're on a budget. The Borg ETT turbos are starting to make a name for themselves for high boost reliability and simply awesome compressor maps.
