Go to atpturbo.com for your lines, restrictors, and your couplers.

uh, T28 is a T2 base turbo and use the T2 flange. you can get a GT3076R with a T2/T28 flange to work on gtir manifold and Jpipe.

I mean hard-pipes are one thing. I looked at a Godspeed up-pipe for my Foz but even that is kind of precise and the batch control on some of these parts just isn't there.

But hard parts like intercoolers you can do a godspeed or whatever. Personally I would rather buy a used forge or something.

Turbos even come in a range of quality on eBay. Many are made literally across the street from your typical 'quality' turbos. In my opinion you can get an eBay turbo to do alright if you take it to your local shop and have some work done and it will be OK. Just OK though I personally would not do it that way....

This is true holset is very good they supply all of their turbos for cummins. and cummins being one of the biggest in diesel tech. And since I personally work on cummins for a living.

Youll find them everywhere since their on the cummins ISB engines found on
Dodge trucks.

yeah it is and well hopefully this one will hold up for the few months i need it to, I didn't buy it to try and run with it on the track or anything like that right now this car is my daily and the stock turbo went so i got this a temporary replacement while i get a t3 manifold, the gt28 are good but i really don't want to have to max out my turbo to try and make 350 rather get a bigger turbo and run lower boost to make the power
