He said it was the same block as ours im not sure. Just checking...oh and i too ordered a K&N Filter for my car

i think the t25 has pretty good mid range and top end i am running 9 psi of boost and my car pulls very hard top end. and for everyone that doesnt know this is the same size turbo that came in the turbo eclipses and they run 12-14 psi stock.....one eclipse in our club before he upgraded to a 16g gained 34 hp over stock by uping the boost to 17psi and changing exhaust and intercooler piping and b o v and this was with the stock intercooler and downpipe.....that much boost is alot harder on the turbo but he got 145000 out of the stock turbo before a cloged oil line caused turbine failure... i can see 185whp out of our msps with the stock ecu and intercooler...when i have my downpipe and exhaust done i am having the car dyno tuned at 9psi ill be sure to post the results

Are you on acid or something?
FM Protege turbo
What's that? 167.5 at the wheels, and that's with a T3 turbo, not a wimpy T26. Oh yeah, and the FM intercooler is also bigger than the stock MSP intercooler. Trust me, you don't want to battle me, I know what the hell I'm talking about.
Also, I don't have an attitude, I just don't like filling peoples heads with bulls*** info like you. Trust me, WITH THE CURRENT INTERCOOLER AND EXHAUST SETUP, THE MSP WILL NEVER SEE 185 TO THE WHEELS.
If you are so bad and so sure of yourself, prove me wrong. I dare you.
Ok its a t25 not a t26. HAHA Owned!!! proved you wrong lol!! Damn I guess I'm pretty BAD

ah hell dude
you shouldnt have said that
Big_ben is gonna come kick your ass
is it true that if you have two turbos, one larger than the other,
and if they are running the same psi, that the larger turbo will produce more hp, because the larger turbo can put out more CFM?

yes thats why you can upgrade your turbo and run lower boost and get the same horsepower.

the MSP comes with the same turbo as the 2nd gen eclipse's and their HP is right around there.....the t25 has potential.

It might be the same type of turbo, however I thought the actual size of the housing is slightly smaller than that of the Eclipse T-25. And I'm sure the turbine is set up differently as well.

This is exactly what I want people to understand. By swapping out the factory unit for a larger one, you can lower the boost for a mean time. Also, a larger turbo with a different trim will produce power at a different point in your revband.
Different strokes for different folks of course. I would prefer the boost that kicks in a little later and hits you in the back like a sledge hammer over linear boost that is spread out evenly over the rev band.
That's just me of course.
