I'm running the 25/40 on my ITR. Spools early, full boost at 3500. I like it alot.

I really don't know too much about it. My engine builder suggested it to me. It spools fast and will support up to 450 hp. I'm a turbo noob, I don't really have a point to reference it to.

I don't see what the fuss is all about? The GT28 "disco patato" has been around forever.. Yall ever heard of HKS twins?

Here's my dyno sheet:


My tuner shut it down at 7700. I think he was a little scared of breaking something with my high comperssion stock pistons. He is used to tuning VW's, mine is the second turbo honda he's done. I've brought it to red line and it pulls all the way.

This might be a dumb question...

Can someone explain why this turbo is cheaper than other GT series turbos? what makes some turbos $500 more?

Bump..bringin it back up. Why is it cheaper than the other ones? And i asked the guy at atpturbo.com if it was a good turbo and he said he felt that it was too much of a mismatch in the wheels? It does seem like a good concept though, kinda best of both worlds i guess. Anybody else got an opinion on it? Also anybody got a 53Trim GT30R Ehousing?

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by BlackThorN &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">so far in all of my research this seems to be my top pick for my LS turbo build

from what I can tell the power is there without hardly any lag and it also seems to be smoother delivery then some of the larger turbo's that blast all of the power all of a sudden at higher RPM's

I see that it comes with an internal wastegate though...is there a version of it that does not come with one, so i can use a tial 38mm?

hopefully I'm not waaaay off, but if I am correct me, I'm here to learn

I've been searching and I can't really tell if I'm on the right track

I have Rc440's walboro 255lphHp pump, I'll use hondata and I have an AEM fpr

will that be a good enough fuel setup to utilize this turbo at 10 or 11psi for the track, on a stock LS motor

I plan on running 7-8psi daily

**grabs ticket to board platform B

thanks in advance

I saw one on ebay where they allow you to pick either the T25 flange (internal) or the T3 flange, which you can add an external wasgate.
