hey guys im looking into a hks gt2530 turbo for the sr20det and was wondering if any of you have any info/experience on it? is it worth getting? is the power gain noticeable ? what turbo does it compare to? a t28? i hear the HP gain is only like 320hp, cant the stock t25 get you to like 300hp ? any info is greatly appreciated. thanks

if you like lagness, and no need to downshift, just gas it.. then its the GT2530 for you=)

stock T25 can barely get you to 250 if you're lucky.

I was thinking of getting the hks turbo too, what do you mean by lagness? There is lag or there isnt lag? I heard the hp figures can get anywhere from low 300's to low 400's depending on the extent of mods and how much your boosting. Is there anyone that has "Actual Experience" with this turbo, not word of mouth.

??? lol, that's damn near the worst turbo explination I've ever heard.

the 2530 has close to the exact same boost response characteristiscs as the stock t25.

I'm currently in the process of getting parts ready to install my GT2540. Then hock it for a 2835 or Garret GT equivelent.
