Thread: rebuild options for t28 turbo from Garrett

The 18g is hands down the best budget turbo for your car, as I have said over and over. You will run out of injector long before you come close to reaching the full potential of the turbo. You need some 740cc's for safety and you can run 14-20 lbs all day on pump and make some serious power. Throw in some s4's if you can as the next mod after the injectors. Get the car retuned, then s4's when you are bored or want to make more power with less boost and also have a higher, more useful powerband. You will love that turbo if you liked the one you had before. Slightly slower spool time but not enough to be annoying, especially when you hit the top end of the powerband with that baby! Get that sheet bolted on asap and some bigger injectors. Respond in this thread or pm me. I want to hear if you like it better than the t28 with the t04b compressor housing. I'm not sure how you wouldn't unless a couple hudred rpms longer of spool time bothers you. If it does get a t25 and have full boost by 2800, lol.
