Tell me what you think about installing a Garrett T25 Turbo in a 98' Toyota Corolla? The Corolla has a brand new VVTi motor(2004), Short ram intake, and a, just arrived computer chip and boost controller for whatever turbo i install; just have to decide what Turbo Im going to get so yalls opinion will be well appreiciated.

Can anyone in here tell me where I can find low compression pistons in the Middle TN area?

T25 will do great w/ your motor. No real turbo lag and good for 200+ hp.

One more question---What Octane do you think I should upgrade to as not to cause Knock?

Theres no such thing as a 2ZZ-FE, its either 1ZZ-FE or 2ZZ-GE. Since he said VVTi, it couldn't be a 2ZZ, its a 1ZZ.

I have a question... it says that the T25 has both water and oil cooling? Is it an option of selecting which one.. or do you have to buy both oil and water lines?

If you got the though, get a full ball bearing GT25 turbo.

You should use both the oil and water options of the turbo.
Put a T off of your oil pressure gauge and get the oil feed from there and run a line back to your oil pan.
The water line:
Take the out put line off of your Throttle body and run it to the turbo. Then just route a new line from the turbo back to the location that the out put line (far side) went to.

Faster spool up(as if the T25 wasn't fast anuff), able to put out more boost vr's a non ball bearing unit, Longer life(as long as you give the turbo time to cool).
