I would pass on the t25. I think it would be too small. Now it depends on what your goals are, but I have a t3, 63/60 and I really like it. I don't think I would want one smaller. Try posting in FI to get more responses

 

T25 is good up to about 12-14psi if Im not mistaken. Quicker spool then a T3/04, but less power potential. Also, psi isnt the only thing that matters, volume also matters. 12psi on a T25 will make 240whp, while 12psi on a T3/04 will make 280whp.

 

you can get a used t25 off a 2nd gen dsm for ~125$
it's a decent turbo. tops out a bit early but spools nicely. if you are into drag racing, it's prob not the best turbo for you.

 

So a T-25 on an ls would be better than say a T-3/t-4 in the 1/4 mile?

 

opposite.

t25 on a b18 would be good if you autocrossed or were looking to get around town more quickly.

for the 1/4 mile, you'd want something that doesn't lose efficiency before your redline, so a larger turbo than a t25 would be what you're after.

 

T25 is a good turbo for a ls integra, small turbo and very little turbo lag, I have one on my mazda and I like it, but I am only boosting 6.9lbs ( factory setting) it has 170 hp. T3/t04 I would say you could get more power out of it ( obvioulsy ) but I would think that it would a better chance of blowing your motor. T25 is a good starter turbo
