The G25 costs nearly double a GTX-28. To put it in perspective, the G25 costs more than an entire SBD turbo kit!
The G25 spools like a borg warner, but offers Garrett reliability. Win-win, except for the wallet, but I dont know a single G25 user who regrets it.
A G25 will work with most kits that use standard flanges, but will likely need minor alterations to possibly oil/coolant line routing, clocking, and possibly exhaust piping.
How much power are you realistically looking for?

Heat management is the main reason why PTuning is my favorite kit. When I first started looking into boosting the 86 and started reading people's experiences here, nothing but heat issues with pretty much every kit - not surprising given the turbo location of these kits, i.e. right smack in the front of the engine bay.
Also, the top mount location of every kit is really not very pleasing given that it places so much weight up front - the Ptuning kit, with the exception of charge pipes and FMIC at the front, places the turbo lower which, I believe, is key in retaining the wonderful balance this platform has.
I believe you run your Greddy turbo kit on the track, correct? Using a turbo blanket, oil cooler and vented hood has been a successful strategy so far? Care to share other things you've learned from running the Greddy kit? Regrets? What would you do differently next time around?
