My .02 is if it's for a daily/weekend warrior then go for it but if you're a hardcore driver abusing it s whole lot then save up for a good Garrett or be like all the cool kids and get a nice Precision (SC6262 dual BB FTW!!! =] )

@OkiDori17 I'm definitely not the type to beat my car...I don't plan on keeping the car for much longer than 2 or 3 months (I want to keep it long enough for Import Alliance in Charlotte in July). I just want something that will put my car: one, back on the road, two, get me as close to my previous t28 set up as possible and three, have the car set up worry free for the next owner. Does your buddy just have the tubular manifold with his turbo, or is he using his stock manifold?
@ultimateirving, I don't have the necessary funds to get the car tuned again. I want to keep set up as close to where it is (was) with the t28 and use a turbo that won't call for another tune...I know, me being me, if I DID go bigger turbo (such as the RS), I would really want to get the car re-tuned just out of spite since I know I could pull more out of it..but for the type of driver I am, the current tune is plenty for me. (Not to sound ignorant or anything, I know that some things will be slightly altered from installing a different turbo, but if I keep the turbo as close as possible to the t28, "in theory", I'll be fine)
Another concern of mine is, should I get the ISIS tubular manifold with the t25/28 replacement set up? I know the ISIS replacement turbo will bolt up directly to my stock exhaust manifold..would it be of any merit to go with the tubular manifold, as opposed to the stock manifold? With me wanting to say as close to my last set up as possible..would keeping my stock manifold be the way to go, or could a ball bearing+stock manifold be some-what equally compared to a journal bearing+tubular manifold? (not sure if that question made sense to you guys...I'm trying to formulate my question as clear as possible lol)
