For those with MPINicks T25 Upgrade..

Not that many people lost their turbos other than the wastegate failures. I personally loved that turbo. It gave alot more than I ever expected.
 
well there is of course the cash difference between the upgrade T25R and the GT28RS.. Has anyone with a built motor and a upgraded T25R been dissatisfied? Seems to flow enough for what anyone here has needed. Maybe if you are looking to make a little more power and still have good responce it would be the way to go, but for most the upgrade T25R flows more than needed. Obviously if you want more power than it can supply you would go bigger. Pretty sure most around here arent boosting more than 16psi, even still DSM peeps are boosting 14-17psi with the T25 so if its working for them why wouldnt a T25R w/ BB be ok? no issues with mine running 10+ psi for near 2 years, getting close to the 100K mark.

In all honestly it does feel faster than stock, but nowhere near what the GT28RS feels like. I normally don't post, but I feel the stock MSP upgrade might not be the best of choices. .

So me the money. You have great theory here, but no facts to back it up.

We made almost 340 torque to the ground and 310whp @15psi, with a very small intercooler and a reworked stock MSP manifold. I see a post in the dyno section for a GT28rs kit with a much bigger intercooler and a header. It only made 297 torque and 276 whp. So where is your claim true. Maybe the GT28rs will make more power above 20psi and 6,000 rpms. For most people the MPI upgrade will get them better power then the GT28rs.

What is you buddy running, the full combo and what is the combo on the GT28rs?

Is there a MPI upgrade on the GT28RS?
If so, how does it compare to the T-25 upgrade you are talking about?
 
stage one= porting and polishing of the exhuast manifold, s-pipe and compressor housing and then he upgrades the compressor wheel to the GT28R...

Stage two= all of the above but a bigger turbine wheel and additional work, but confirm this with Nick to make sure it is right...
 
sure you can do it... You just have to send him your stuff so he can... I don't know what the cost would be though going through customs and all...
 
(old thread i know lol)

There is an upgrade for the GT28RS ... talk to Focus or Nick about it, maybe they can give you more details

that's what Focus did 325whp @ like 17psi

i think hes still in business in Jersey...im kinda out near his area...look up Modern Performance Inc. and you should be able to get the number to his shop to call him.
 
He still does work on protege's so he will still re-do your turbo if you want. call him up, his number is on the website.
 
Stay away from modern performance and Nick he is a crook who charges for things he doent do. Isnt that right NIck?

I suggest the gt28rs,if you want to lay bigger power later,or if you want to drag.
not because it has higher output potential,but it is better for boost in the top end due to it taking longer to spool,and flowing higher CFMs it will hold steddy high boost better.

if you want this for just daily driving,fun,and HP range about 200-250,then the stage 1 t25 will be fine,it's a lot easier to fit in then the GT28RS.


I say this because if you want good times at the track,you will be hurt trying to keep traction with a turbo that spools as fst as the stage 1 T25 does,even though on paper the dyno will show about the same peak HP per same PSI.

lAter I wanna upgrade my turbo but its a daliy driver and I wanna get like as close as I can to 300hp...270, 280 you know?? So what turbo would you rec??? I was looking at the gt28rs
 
that means the stock T25 can't handle that kind of power ... you should look into the GT28R or GT28RS ... the RS spools a bit faster than the 28R iirc and can produce more power. If price is a concern, the 28R would be best for you, as it can produce the level of power you are looking for and costs less than the 28RS

Right thanks...I was looking at the price and its like about 300 or so difference between the gt28 and the 28rs. When that time comes Ill see with which one I go with.....money is always is an issue like you said. Sad but ture......:(
