Ordered a GT28RS

[iON Performance]

ProPartsUSA.COM - the 28RS requires several minor modifications to be "bolt-on". The 28 and 28R won't even fit on the car w/out new flanges.

If you want to run more then 5psi safely, get engine management and all the proper supporting hardware (ie: injectors, FMIC, true turbo-back exhaust etc).

Out here in cali we are running 91. Any way of goin higher on race gas? 100 octane?

there is nothing certain... from the time you install that turbo, everything you know will be behind you. no one here in cali has a gt28rs. good luck with that thing...

What you need to get some decent WHP is the following:

1- FMIC kit $900.00 shipped
2- Fuel management system.(can be just fuel mgmt or fuel and timing) $900.00 shipped for the F10 with protege harness)
3- Bigger turbo. $1,100 for the GT28RS

We are getting 240 WHP of many of our P5s with our turbo kit on stock internals because everything is balanced. Good spooling ball bearing turbo, FMIC and Haltech F10 for fuel management. With internals and the Haltech E6X we are making 300 whp at 22 psi. Remember that the engine is the same.

I take it you didn't read the rest of the thread?

if you want a new flange for that disco patato go to www.jgstools.com

GT28RS is a direct bolt up, all the flanges are the same, but it takes some work. Tou have to rotate the exhaust and compressor sides of the turbo, grind some of your downpipe to get the downpipe flange to fit tight. Then you have to modify the wastegate a little to get it to fit between the block and the turbo. Other than that it looks awesome on the exhaust manifold. I am having mine coated and polished right now.

Exactly what he said.

With my GT28RS install it bolts directly onto the manifold.

Rotate the housing.

Modify the wastegate

Get a new reducer hose for the inlet plumbing, in my case I needed a 2.5" to 3" to go from my 2.5" intake to 3" turbo inlet. Rest of the intake still fits perfect.

Sounds like a pretty good deal!

not trying to thread jack or anything, but I mangled my t25 and was goind to get a GT28, modifying the wasegate doesnt bother me, but what exactly do you mean by grind down the downpipe?? That doesnt sound too fun.

If you want a cheaper alternative, I have my factory turbo still that i would be willing to part with. It was in perfect operating condition when I took it off the car and never saw over 9PSI.

PM me if you are interested.

Please more detail about "the 28RS requires several minor modifications" Thanks
