I'm wondering if anyone has tried adding the 9-3 base turbo(gt-17) on the c900. This turbo is smaller then the t-25 and allows for lots of low end power with little to no lag on the 9-3 but quickly runs out of power above 3500rpms on our engines. This turbo is also a GT series so I assume that it has the ball bearing turbo to reduce the lag. If you wanted something that had no lag then I would assume that this would be a great alternative.
Things to do when your doing this upgrade yourself is to port out the header openings to the turbo to ensure that it is properly matched. Not sure how much of a gain it offers but it sure improves air flow.
