Will it choke the motor, be decent for mid-boost?

It's small-ish, but if a T25 doesn't choke it, that won't.

The .63 is a better option, but if that's all you can find, then...

thats a real small turbine. thats a real small compressor. why not use something a little larger?

It will perform pretty terribly, and have quite a bit of boost drop-off. Incredible throttle respone though.

My first turbo was a .48 a/r .42 compressor T3, and the boost dropped off significantly past 4k rpm. My boost drops off even with my T3 Super 60.

Sigh ... well, guess this will be my starter turbo because I already got it. I heard of someone I believe on this board pushing a T25 to like 12 psi and not having in boost drop off until like 5500 rpms ... also put up some decent numbers IIRC ... isn't the this T3 a little bit larger then the T25?
