For the associated costs to what they offer up for performance, it's not as smart a choice as some of the newer larger options.

FULL breather mods on the intake and exhaust side allows the larger turbos to really SING and shine in their performance.

Back in the day before all our currently available breather mods; sport 500's, and other small-like turbos were good options for flowing quickly through our small piping and crap stock manifolds... so you got a increase in power, with minimal loss of spool...

These days, even the commonly used sport 700's who once were considered LAGGY, and "too big" for street use; are amazing to drive on the streets daily when full breather mods are ondeck in the car...

long story short, save your coin and pass on the 525's, and plan on full breathers, and a moderately larger turbo BB turbo.

end rant.
