Turbo Type??

[03MSP]

Ok, just want a yes or no answer here. I remember reading something about this a while ago, but I want to know for sure.

Is our T25 a GT series dual ball bearing turbo? From what I remember, I think people were saying it wasn't, but just checking.

Thanks,
Brandon

you have a t25, not a t28 =)

Ooops, lol, I knew that, I'm drunk, let me edit.

edit: I wish I had a damn T-28!!

haha, drunk and browsing internet = trouble! ya you have just a regular t25..small yes, but is good enough to make decent power. Also theres barely any turbo lag which must be nice. Can't say the same for my setup but oh well. =)

i tough we had the GT25 :confuded:

 

[03MSP]

Yeah, I'm sure your setup has it's plus's (spin) And you're right, this thing has no lag whatsoever, in my other thread when I said I hit 15 psi, it took less than a second to get there...amazing

 

[mp5jeff]

yea, i saw the vid of discreet running 15psi, it has barely any lag, i was very suprised.

What kind of turbo is that? And are you thinking of ever getting an intercooler setup?

 

[mp5jeff]

yes acctually, im gettin an intercooler this week, probably thursday(along with a race clutch since mines slipping). Its a t3/to4b turbo. The small turbine helps with the spool but the lag is still noticable =) will be a little more lag with intercooler but then again, i will be able to run more boost and won't have to worry about heatsoak and im getting alot right now non-intercooled.
