So, I've been doing my fair share of searching this morning, and researching, and I think I might be boosting this summer. I'm thinking of going with the Garrett GT28R. Would this be a wise choice? I'm looking at around 250 horse. I'm still going to get my exhaust system, and pulleys, but then turbo. From what I hear the 28R is a quick spooling turbo, and it seems pretty stable. Anyone have a better suggestion?

there are TONS of different gt28r turbos. go to www.turbobygarrett.com to see them.
you have to learn how to read compressor maps. checkout topics i have created in the power adders forum and you will see what i mean. also a good qualitative comparison on gt28 turbos without the math involved for you to check out and consider.

if you can afford it man. all the parts are a matter of research and putting together but as you probably know you cannot avoid or deny high maintenance and problems.
i'd wait for the new tib and see if it's turbocharged wink1.gif

keep in mind. gt28 turbos have a t25 turbine flange. the only available premade manifolds for us have t3 flanges.
not a hard fix but that is just one of the many intricacies you must make sure you have covered.

Which turbo would have a correct flange then? I want a fast spooling turbo, I've heard of hybrid turbos too. Anyone have experiences with them?
