Well I just had a really nice Garrett T25 fall into my lap, it is from a Nissan. It is a factory turbo so it is water and oil cooled. It has minimal/normal barring shaft play. had about 70K on it. It is a nice turbo, and thought I would see if there is any interest here in it before I list it elsewhere, or decide to sell my 16G and put in a duel BB setup in it with a GT28 71R cold side..
It has the factory inlet and outlet pipes which make it super easy for intercooler, as well as the hotside for the downpipe.
I do have a SS manifold laying around I had planned on putting a BP flange on... could make it interesting, but would drive the price up to about 400. This turbo is good to about 250 - 270 WHP or so depending on tuning. This is a great turbo especially for someone who may want to upgrade it later on. a duel BB kit is like 250 for it and you can mix and match housings to get some serious numbers out of it. that is why I am contemplating keeping it, but I have already fabbed up my DP and manifold and it would set me back if I were to use it.
Send me a PM and I will get shipping and everything nailed down.
Blake I would think that this would be a little on the small side for a K8. It would work, would spool really fast, but flatten out in the top end more than likely. would make it quick though
