I've been looking around for a concrete A/R size for this turbo. I have read on some previous posts about this being a great all around turbo and 350RWHP isnt out of the ball park for this turbo. Im looking to run this on my SR setup. Before I buy any fuel componets, I need to pick a turbo first. Ive heard good things about this turbo. I mean I want a weekend driver, quick spool up time, reliability, and I dont want to max it out just to get my desired result of 350RWHP and 11 second ET's Im already working out a shopping list to get all these pieces as to minimize downtime. I have already pulled the MAF of my TT Z32 before I sold it, a greddy intake, 720cc injectors(huge I know but for high boost potential I feel I'll need them), a Z32 fuel pump, FMIC, Apexi filter, And I'll probably have enjuku racing tune my ECU. As well as Apexi electronics. These are the HP and ET numbers Im shooting for. Can someone recommend a size for me? The link I found seems to be the best priced. Ive seen these range from 700-2,700. Although, it comes in two compressor sizes. Im 90% sure the .86 will be pretty laggy for street use. Although Ive been reading up on preboost nitrous systems to combat lag and provide quicker spool times. Someone throw their 2 cents in here. Its all appreciated. Sorry if I seem like a newbie, I have a good understanding of this, but haven't personally worked with numbers to make an educated decision. Thanks everyone!

Sorry the link to that 25r is here

**Edit** I was also looking into a top mount header. Only thing is, there are none for that flange size. There really is no need because it can clear at the bottom. I just thing a top mount looks great and really dresses up the underhood appearance of the engine. Equal length headers are pretty inviting as well. Someone set me straight on this please. Sorry for the long post.
