Jeez fair play, is that on a Decomp plate? I would have thought that power it would have shit itself.
I don't confess to know much on this subject, im just trying to give the guy somewhere to start

Yes using a Decomp plate. The turbo isn't working hard as it's only needing 13psi so everything is still nice and cool. I don't think it would last an age at this power though

And I'm a perfect example of constantly changing your mind 
I ran the first year on standard rods with forged pistons - was happy as Larry  decomp plate is fine if you manage the temps well as these guys have done. Standard pistons don't mind power they just hate heat!

there's alot of cars on here to good specs that havent cost a fortune, thats part of the reason forums are GOLD... you get to learn alot and see what IS achievable with a little knowledge and money.

stevo1600 has a project that was done recently of an 8v turbo that was built up from parts,
but yes there are LOTS of ppl whove just built up form other stuff/cars
end of the day most modern cars are built/specc'd by robbing parts form other cars, thats how things get better and better
just got to learn where to use that to your own advantage

Well I hate to admit it but black I think ur right...
As I was saying the T25 will that be enough for upto 250bhp?
I understand that it will be a mission but is there any chance you could gimme a kit list..don't need prices just any idea.

nahh...im pushing my luck on a a t25 at 218bhp lol (upgrade is next on my list)
you dont want something so small, it will be stressing the turbo out and heating stuff up

You can get a gt25 capable of 300bhp. That would be the ultimate road spec turbo
