What do they max out at as far as HP and boost? I was wondering cause i can pick one up from a friend for 20$ and was going to put it on my ae86, but i want to be shooting for 15pnds and 250hp but dont want to max out the turbo. Thanks

Chances are it's shot, every one I have seen was. Save the $20 and buy a new tool or something.

You'll be REALLY lucky to break 200rwhp with the CA T25. I can pretty much promise you that it won't. I did, but I was running 105 octane E85 w/standalone and about 1.4 Bar, which is WAY too much boost for that turbo.

I just did it so that I could SAY that I broke 200rwhp with that turbo. It also won't hold the boost that high all the way to redline. I think it dropped down to 1/1.2 bar.

NP, the SR T25 is a GREAT turbo for the CA. Very responsive, and makes decent power.
