Thank you!

With the slight compression bump of the NA pistons you really should just jump up to a T28 for your NA-T setup. Should spool just as quick as a t25 det but have the extra breathing room up top.

Yeah, I have been looking into that.
I picked up a t25 and a manifold super cheap and figured I would start there but I had intended to run e85 (its abundant down here) and even at low boost levels the t28 might be a better option. I may look into doing a EWG (not that I would really need it with the NA internals and the mechanical limitations) on the stock manifold and run a turbo that I can possibly still use in the future when I slap some forged internals in it.

Honestly the T25 is just a waste of time if you ever plan to upgrade. It's too small, has terrible efficiency, and makes a shit ton of heat. Gen II GTX2860R is the last bolt on turbo you will ever need. No restrictive bolted on turbo inlets, no goofy outlets with adapters and tiny intercooler pipes, etc.

Also when you're tired of re-tightening manifold to turbo nuts all the time, you can just swap turbine housings and run a proper top mount manifold and never have to worry about leaks again. That's my

Man I wish they would just offer a T2/5-Bolt turbine housing for the G25-550. Sure it would restrict the power potential, but for people wanting 3-400hp with newer turbo tech it would be perfect.
