I know the KA-T guys love them and they are super cheap. has anyone used these on the CA? how was the experience? what modifications were nessacary(would also help which size you opted for).....

I have a T28 from an R33 that needs cleaning..... but Im not sure how much faith I have in it and would rather spend some decent money on something worth having then risking it on a turbo that might not be so steller.

Get a GT2876R. You will never need another turbo. Would I lead you astray? The answer, is no.

So for the HX25, at .23kg/s you would be getting about 30.3lb/min. Its a tad smaller than the GT28R but with a seemingly smaller turbine housing. In any rate it seems to be a good choice for 260-280hp.
