Default IS A T25 TURBO GOING TO BE ANYGOOD FOR ME???

AS ABOVE I'VE BEEN OFFERD A T25 TURBO OFF A FRIEND STILL IN ITS BOX IT WAS GOING TO BE GOING ON TO A SILVIA TURBO

THING IS ITS GOING RATHER CHEAP AND WAS THINKING IT MIGHT BE OF SOME USE TO ME
THE T3 EXHAUST HOUSING/ELBOW WILL TRANSFER STRAIGHT OVER ON TO IT MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT I'M JUST ABOUT TO PUT A 2.1 ZVH IN AND WAS THINKING ON ONE HAND THAT IT MIGHT BE TO SMALL???
OR ON THE OTHER HAND THE FACT THAT THE QUICK SPIN UP OF THE TURBO MIGHT WORK VERY WELL WITH THE LOW DOWN TORQUE POWER THAT THE ZVH ENGINE PUT OUT WHAT DO YOU THINK?

KNOWING MY LUCK ITS GOING TO BE NO GOOD

nah if anything a T28, but they run out of puff in higher revs, i'd say it'd be useless mate.

My mate uses a t25 on his fiesta rs and it is not very immpressive if you ask me, but then his car is a bit on the worn side. Give it a go mate, let us know how you go on

dont zvhs run out of puff at 5.5-6k anyways surely itb be better having a small turbo to make use of the zvh,s lowerdown powerband? my t3 doesnt start pulling till 3.5k and if peak power is 5.5-6k thatd give you a 2.5-3k powerband;-( id rather have a small turbo for around town but i guess its what you want the car for balls out power/quartermile?

THATS MORE OR LESS WHAT I WAS THINKING I WANT IT FOR DRIVEABILITY NOT FLAT OUT POWER AS ITS GOING TO BE AN EVERY DAY DRIVER

I WAS THINKING OF PUTTING A T34 OFF ANOTHER M8S COSSY OR EVEN A STD COSSY T3 BUT EITHER ONE OF THEM WILL COST ME A BIT THIS T25 I'VE BEEN OFFERD IS GOING FOR 25 NOTES AS HTHE OWNER BEEN BAND FOR 2 YRS AND ITS SITTING IN HIS SITTING ROOM

BUT IF ITS GOING TO BE A WASTE OF TIME THEN I'M NOT THAT BOTHERD AS ITS NOT GOING TO COST A LOT. AND BESIDES I'M ONLY THINKING OF RUNNING 14 PSI ANYWAY EVEN ON THE 2.1
