I want to turbo my A15 and im looking getting a t25. theres a few generic and el cheapo ones on ebay but im not sure if i should trust them? anyone had experience with these? also theres a few with combined t25 size compressors and t28 turbines, would this be too big considering im after more 'all round' response? cheers

I personally haven't used one, but they are imports from china i think you'll find, not sure of the quality on these chinese imports, not sure, the jury is out on these i surpose, i now that the intercoolers from there are pretty crappy and are prone to cracking. Going by other imports from there they're not the best quality you might be better off going for a 'brand name' item such as garrett or the like, i run a T25 from a CA18DET on my A14 and it hasn't let me down yet, spools up real nice!

Maybe someone else on here has used one?

dont do it there sh1t house

get a t25 of a silvia good ones sellfor 100 bucks

if you can wait a couple weeks i might have a really good condition t25g off my ute. its the ballbearing type

but has any one tried and tested the L'cheapo eBay ones

yep lots of guys on silviawa that have gone the cheap way and then very soon after gone for the good brands

campo do you still have the t25 im looking for one to do the same, i bought a manifold off frankthedolphintrainer and now looking for the rest, pm me if the other guy doesnt want it. cheers

We have exactly the same Turbo that frankthedolphintrainer is running on his car for sale with spares

One of my customers bought an ebay/Chinese one, and on the dyno for the first start up, the main sharft bent and ran the impellers into the housings.

Buy a good secondhand one.
