There are previous threads in here, Wayne, about this turbo and its associated kit parts. Not flaming you for asking, I know, the entry price is eye catching.

I do not have any firsthand experience with any of these parts, or any turbo really; but I have been around these engines for some years and I have spent hours reading these forums about turbocharging these trucks. I would try hard to piece together my own kit before buying that one.

the t25g is chokng on a ka. ur better off with a t28, atleast an s14 journal bearing t28 if u cant afford s15 ball bearing. itll be more efficient. t25 ka-t's make all the turbo sounds but ive never been impressed with one

a friend of mine in tennessee has a ka-t with s15 t28, 440's, n62 maf and i think an enthalpy rom tune on an oe rebuild and it makes great power and is stupid responsive. it really surprised me. i swear by that build for anyone wanting to do a basic ka-t setup and its pretty affordable too.

I chose the T25 because i wanted to start out small and try not to blow my motor. In the future i will build a new motor with nice sh*t and for now i want to be around 200bhp. I have seen 200bhp with the t25 and 370cc's on other ka-t's and i know it is doable. My motor also has a ton of miles on it 250k, so throwing a turbo on it period is a big risk and like i said this is gonna be popping my turbo cherry so the T25 will be good for now and in the future i am gonna have fun stepping it up to build a sick a$$ Nissan Hardbody. I mean how many people have a turbo Hardbody, or a turbo truck period. I think pushing it much more htan 200 hp will be over the edge for my motor, myu truck is too important. I really don't even want to start the build until i have a back up motor or spare truck just in case you know?
