What T3/T4? Like a 50 trim with a .63 A/R? .48 A/R? I think I'll go with the 50/.48 A/R if I go T3/T4. The smaller A/R will give me that quicker spool your craving right now...mp5jeff said:

Making the GT28RS fit is fairly easy.
Rotate the compressor so the air outlet points up like the OEM turbo.
Modify the wastegate actuator so it won't hit the block when you install it. (on mine we just re-used the factory wastegate)
New reducer coupling to work with whatever intake you had before and you call it a day.
No other modifications necessary.

Also to be noted, because of the nature of the T25 and its efficiency vs. the T28rs you can push the same boost with less risk to your engine on a t28rs.

Well because of the increased CFM that the GT28RS puts out, I'm a little hesitant to creep up over 12 psi with Disco potato. Cylinder pressures would be way too high. Don't you think?

Please Read Before Upgrading Turbo Or Boosting
Spend your money on rods and pistons. I have a friend at Mazda who is a Mazdaspeed Mechanic, already they have replaced many bent rods. They are bending to the point of breaking. Don't do a turbo upgrade without doing internals, it cost much less to do internals, than a whole motor. Mazdaspeed blocks cost $1200.00 without pistons. Cranks cost $800.00 Pistons and rods cost $1200.00 and a very long wait so far 9 weeks. The crank gurdle cost 400.00. Add it up!!! Buy pistons or at least good rods. Total cost with upgrades to total $6000.00

You can get a direct bolt on gt28r from essentialspeed.com for just over 1000.00. I guess since it's internally wastegated that there is no need to modify to make it fit???

well, that link is busted right now.
But here is what I can tell you. That is not the GT28RS from what I can tell from your link. The GT28RS is superior to the GT28R, is also direct bolt on (save the changing of the wastegate atuator) and is internally wastegated.
And what he says about essential speed is true, I would stay away.
