Thread: GTi-r vs. GT28r

I'm new to the turbo game and i wanted to know whats the difference in power and performance on a gti-r T28 and gt28r turbo?

GTiR Has a much bigger exhaust housing and will make more power.

GT28R is ball bearing and will have more response & less lag.

do they make the type of power on top end and also can the exhaust housing off the gtir t28 be put on the gt28r turbo?

The GTiR turbo will make more power top end. The GT28R will lose 'puff' at higher rpm much quicker due to the small exhaust housing.

No the exhaust housings are not interchange able. The GT28R has a simlar sized exhaust housing as a T25.

ok and does the boost drop or its not as stong of a boost at top end like the gtir one?

The boost will drop off sooner with the GT28R

yeah the thing is that a friend of mine has a GT28R and another friend has a GTi-r T28 with there sr20 setups and i can't seem to see the different besides a bit quicker responce with the gt28R one :-P

is there different versions of GT28R turbo that might be a bit bigger?

"GT28R" Is the name of the turbo which is found stock on facelift S14, s15's and xtrail GT's.

If you want something bigger in the T2 series, look into a GT2872R or a GT2876R. These are much bigger.

The GT28R is closer to a T25 than a T28 in my books.

What kind of set up are you wanting to run and power goal?

pea shooter turbos.
