If your gonna stay on the stock motor and only boost 25psi you would be much better off with a stock variant type turbo like an FP Red or a BBK Full at 25psi there's no reason to be using a 35r sized turbo plus the smaller turbo would defenetly be much more fun on the road specially if you'll be daily driving the car.

O ok awesome. I'll probably go with the BBK Full. Yeah I just bought my evo like three weeks ago. Ive put all the bult ons since then. I plan on using it maybe once a week.

I would tell you to go with the FP HTA 3076R if you want to stay around 25 PSI. It will hold boost better then a BBK. Nothing against the BBK but I think it runs best at 28-32 PSI. Just like the Red will really show you what it has at 36+ PSI!!!

For the moment ill be running 25 psi, they say the stock block can handle up to 30 psi. I dont wanna risk it at 30 yet. So i am leanin towards the bbk cause i can bump it up once im ready but thats not goin to be untill a few more mods.

Ok no one asked this... But why are you upgrading. The stock turbo is very good. I ran 11's on my stock turbo on pump and full street trim. Don't just throw $$$ away thinking you need to updrage to make the car fast.. Mine was very fast for a DD street car more than enough fun.
