From what I have seen with other KA-ts the pistons are the weakest link. Make sure you have a good tune and you should be fine at a 200whp level. Why are you looking at the t25/t28 VS a t3/t4, are you looking for quick spool? All the KA-t guys I know are running t3/t4 series turbos.
it all depends on the tune. with a good tune, you could run a t3/t4, but from reading up, without doing some sort of rebuild to the motor and using a different headgasket, its going to fail.
