Okay, ive got a turbo kit, but no intercooler as of yet, im not gonna install it until i put my new weseco pistons and eagle rods in the bottom end lowering comp to 8.6:1. A cam will come later, but before i put this thing in my car, i need to find some intercooler pipes for a T25 turbo. I cant seem to find any around, and making some myself requires miles that i cant travel as of yet, I just was wondering if anyone has the same turbo as me, with a IC kit on it, and where it came from.
Also just for fun, all you T25's, what kinda boost numbers you get with your turbo? My old Z6 i got up to 15 psi safely, i wanna hear something outrageous!

8.6:1 and a T25 is going to suck big time... Don't waste money building the bottom end just to use a t25. The t25 won't push enough air to justify the upgraded internals.
im not going for an insane amount of power in this car, but me personally im looking for around 7-8psi of boost. I have a friend that has a 1g eclipse with a pretty large turbo, hes pushing 19psi right now. I was also gonna buy a VAFC-II unit from him for about 150 bucks, with the harness, for fuel control, as far as boost control? just a simple manual boost control under the hood, my friends thinks its the best way to go with a smaller turbo.

the T25 is nearly maxed out at stock on a dsm, running anywhere from 12-14 lbs, pushing it 16 lbs will give you a super torquey low to mid range power but will blow nothing but hot air out as it starts becoming inneffiect and dropping off boost pressure after 5.5K rpms (again on a dsm)
Boosting a D16Y8
That turbo is only efficient to around 13-14psi and since it is so small, I don't see anyone getting to 250whp with it...
