turbo choices?

[tony k]

right i was going to get my k16 rebuilt when i phoned up the turbo centre they give me a price on a rebuld but i asked how much another turbo would be they give me a good price on a t3 and t25 im thinking of getting the t3 but my mate said the t25 is better because i dont have alot of space under the bonnet has anyone got any pics with an after market turbo on theres i have a manifold already for one of these turbo already just gotta change the flange on it as its a t25/28 flange on it

T25 would not be suitable for a C20LET. You are better off starting with a T3 variant.

The standard turbo will do that.
