Alright if I get the exhaust and compressor housing from a gt28rs turbo can I use my t25 internal parts and make a complete turbo?

Wheels too or just housings? Sounds ghetto.

Im the sure that **** would be SOOOO ineffecient. The GT28RS uses bigger compressor and turbine wheels so you'd have a gap. Correct me if im wrong would the thing even build boost?

Hell, for $35 it might be worth a try. I mean, if you have free time. I'm in no way implying this will even slightly work, but you wouldnt be out much if it didnt.

I dont think I really want to waste my time with that if it isnt going to work.... It would be cool if it did though.....Somone should like TMS he probably has some old crappy turbos laying around..

The compressor side would be worth it to use if you also got the compressor wheel.......you'd basically have an S14 bushing bearing turbo. The turbine side...I would probably be too laggy unless you sourced a comparable turbine wheel/shaft that would work with your T25 housing.
