Chip T17, bolt on a T25?

Hi,
I'm also considering just getting ECU reprogrammed. I just need a
little faster acceleration. Speedparts Stage 1 upgrade gets me 279 lb-ft
of torque. That's better than Aero numbers.
What I'm afraid of is pushing T17 turbo too far and having it grenade
on me and taking out the engine and other parts in the engine bay. T17
turbo has not been very reliable for us in the 9-5 community. It's been
the only one that had the blue smoke problem.
So, an alternative is the tried and true T25 turbo, but no one sells
ECU's programmed for the combination of T25 and B235.
thanks
Jae
