BTW where have you seen the GT28r for that price?

If the center t25 bearing section is the same, it would be a lot cheaper to go that route of turning it into a t28 than buying a brand new t28 for $1200 +

Yeah I have to see what compressor wheel fits and also read about some being cheaper then others.
Thanks for the info
From what I have read the compressor wheel from a t28 will fit but the housing needs to be machined out so the fins don't rub

Brand new Performance GT2560R Turbo Compressor Wheel
$60, then I'd guestimate $100 for a re-balance. Not a bad price for peace of mind.

Yes didn't think so haha. and I apologize. it wasn't that low in price. its actually $739.00 for the GT28R on JGY customs website. I was going to get the turbo then little later injectors then maf etc little by little .
