T28 Compressor on S13 T25

Well, you basically answered your own questions. Your plan could work out fine, but depending on balancing and how badly the components not included in the rebuild kit will be worn (shaft+housings) the turbo could die prematurely. Is the turbine housing still intact? Most of them crack near the wastegate.

There are tons of people running T28/GT28R/GT2560R's on stock ECU's with stock pressure, so you should be fine. 30HP increase might be a bit optimistic though.

Yes, premature wear may be inevitable. The housings themselves, to my knowledge, will not cause premature wear, so that is nulled..
Turbine housing appears to be in good/decent shape.
The ONLY issue I foresee (given everything bolts up) is the balancing causing premature wear.
30hp optimistic (200-230)... bullshit, she'll nail it.

Fixed that for you, most people running t28's on stock setups are only running the wastegate pressure at 7ish psi, which is lower than stock boost. Stock boost is 12psi with the oem solenoid hooked up.
