thanks andrew, If i was to get an s15 turbo second hand, it has been said that it can folw 180-200kw atw. If my motor was only going to make that anyway, due to cast pistons, it would spool up quicker and be more responsive? - make the same max power as the old turbo, but bring it on quicker - and being a ball/roller bearing turbo, be more responsive and nicer to drive? I may want more than 14psi in the future, so am not interested in the ceramic/composite rb25 unit. Thommo.
