needs moar research. just about anything you put on the 4g69 with stock internals will max out your HP before you can even touch the turbos capabilities. the bigger the turbo the later it will spool (generally speaking)

moar research please

Kinda on the small side... That, and EBAY turbo's are known to crap out in record time... The RRM kit uses a TDO5H, BiG 16G turbo... Alot of guys here are running the RRM setup, and using it as a base for bigger numbers and more power...

yah ebay turbos scare me too and ive also been thinking about finding a car to take take turbo parts out of cause im not paying 5 grand to get the rrm turbo kit there is no way....i think rrm could sell alot more if they found a way to offer the kit at a lower price cause many people are interested in one but no one wants to shell out that much cash but then again what more should i expect when i bought an R/A right.

it will only work as well as your planning just figure out what bends you will need, you are obviously going to have to do some cutting

I have a T3-T4-50 trim in my GS Eclipse, and it starts spooling at 2300 rpm. Maybe a T25 is a bit small. And it's always better to go with external wastegate. Not necessary but better.

Yes, it's the one with 4G69. Check it out.

External wastegates are more reliable. They are less prone to boost creep. Among other things.
