Hey dude, its mike here, i chatted 2 u a while ago by email!

U sure your T2 has t25g internals...??? The T25g compressor wheel is almost the size of the T2 housing! haha

Difinatly something different ey, not many came out stock turbo'd. Is yours one of the few or did it get a transplant?

Hey dude, yea I remeber you. Hows it going? Yes it has been transplanted, a guy ripped apart a blown t25g and recon'd my T2, so its the normal exhaust wheel, spools up nice and quick, and the compressor wheel is from the t25g with modified housings (with some grinding too) i think its a 42 or 43mm compressor wheel, so its all made to fit... Its great Iv had no problems with it... keeps up with the t25g's and a mate with a t28 (he doesn't know much about cars tho + he cant drive...lol)

I voted for Top Mount, but I should add that I mean a water to air setup!
Just so you've got more to think about.....
Cheers bud.

unless your going for a water to air setup, never do the top mount. the heat soak whilst the car is not moving is fairly large..

The reason Subaru do it, is because you cant break the cooler in Bi-Lo carparks cause they have stupid high gutters and wheel stops..

That said... a top mount is great cause you can dump a bucket of ice on top of it, close the bonnet and hoon around for ten mins.. but you cant do that at the track, cause if you drip water, they will bust you..

Front mount all the way...
