which turbo?
which turbo?
At the moment the car is running a gt2876r running 14 pound, and boosts from around 4000rpm onwards. However I would like to "downgrade" to a smaller turbo to reduce the lag, as well as relocating the oil return line and running a dual stage boost setup (to lower the boost for daily driving) in the process. I have access to a t25 which has been high flowed, would this be an appropriate action to take, given that I am not chasing enormous dyno figures? The car is tuned to put out 133kwatw presently.

I down graded from a T28 to T25 for that reason.
Really... monster figures are cool, but a waste if you cant use them.
If you doing the daily driving thing.... It's smart....
Plus less temptation to put your foot down and feed the boys in blue.
So far I'm happy, but I have not done any real driving with the T25....
I did feel the T28 was too much....
but then... The bitch had this ridiculous heavy duty clutch...
and I mean ridiculous, it took too much force to push down...
you would die driving down Parramatta rd in traffic LOL.
I drove a Countach for a while and that was easier...
Anyway My thumbs up to the idea
Quick and nimble small car that can be driven daily sounds good to me.

For such low boost, you wont find any difference between the turbos as far as power is concerned but a massive difference in response.
Id be fitting a standard T25 or a "G" if you can find one in any decent order. The Disco is a pretty hairy setup for such low boost. Specially with such a large back housing on a small engine.
if your prepared to spend your money wisely, there are some excellent bb turbos in the GT25 range.

Thanks Dean, I'll consider it when I eventually go to put the turbo on. The car is amazing, already clocked up 5000km's in it, and have added a sway bar, turbo timer and started fixing other little things to make it perfect. It's also entered in the skyline nationals show n shine down in Goulburn in a couple of weeks time, so I should have some good photos to show the progress after that!
Response is definately a positive for putting on a smaller turbo, where would you place a high flowed t25, in between a standard t25 and a t25g?
