How much boost can it handle T25

Is this on your SAAB? I dont know how those cars handle boost but on my Silvia with the t25 its pretty much useless above 13psi. I mean it can hold that boost just not all the way to redline. 15psi is pretty high for that turbo, it can do it its just for how long though...

^ move to a t3/teo4 turbo man, they are good and cheap and the best hybrid out there.

Save you time and money when you grenade that turbo.

T3 it is I suppose........or maybe even GT28 Disco Potato hmmmmmm.... the possibilities are endless

A buddy of mine ran 18 on his talon with a t25. It lasted about 5 months, the turbo that is.

i know s13 t25's top out at 14 psi. just upgrade to the gt28rs, cheap and an awsome turbo

Isnt that the Disco potato turbo?......where could I find this turbo and Price range Im thinking its like 1700$ or something like that.......Also this should come with the standard 4 bolt T25 Flange right.

The max from a t25 is dependent on the trim and bearings. There are BB T25 turbos for whatever reason that can product decent boost of 14-16 psi safely. On most stock turbos though man 13psi i think your doing good.

GT28RS is a good turbo until you blow the seals lol. I now personally avoid anything that says "Ball bearing" like the bloody plague. If and when you blow a seal man the feeling of pain is something that will hit you like a semi truck. nothing like dumping 1200 bucks down the drain. You can get decent non ballbearing T28 turbos which put out the same numbers just spool 300 rpm slower, not to mention costing less.

nice

t2 flange, should cost like 1300 bux, so u`ll prob need a new manifold and oil lines and such

You could get a T28 off of a GTi-R. Damn near the same spoolup as a T25 but more airflow and capable of around 18psi.
