you need to establish what power you want. .48 is way too small to make decent power in my opinion. listen to pigsy the turbo you are talking about will probably be a step backwards a mate of mine runs a gt3540 with the big 1.06 rear on a rb25 and he has 25 psi by 4500rpm. and thats a huge turbo for a rb25 remember you have lotsa revs with the 25 and keeping it up there is only a matter of dropping down a gear, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey what is 0.50 front and 0.48 rear mean? Im not up to speed with turbo's.

those numbers a re the a/r ratio of the housings. its basically a number to measure the size of them. a .5 compressor cover is pretty small. consider a gt3540 has a .7 comp cover a .48 rear housing is absolutely tiny. consider that a stock vl turbo has a .63 rear housing
