Hey lads was just wondering, I know there are a few different types of T28 turbos but was wondering is the gti-r T28 a ball bearing turbo or not and is it the same or similar to the s15 bb turbo?
Im looking to put this on my 180, will it be ok?
Thanks
not sure of the exact spec of the gtir turbo but i know it is differant to all other t28s and im pretty sure its not a ball bearing...thats not to say it wont fit!
ul get an s15bb turbo hadny enough so y not just get 1 insted of trying to get a gti-r 180sx breaker on her has s15bb turbo for sale buy that
Cause I can get my hands on a gti-r one cheap and was just wondering the spec on em? The s15 ones are ar .6 I think and your man said this one is ar .8 What does that mean? Bigger turbo or what?
.6 and .8 are the factory boost settingsQuote:

gtir turbos are a little laggier than standard t 28's but good for up to 330 bhp iirc and im pretty sure its not bb
as far as i no lad gtir tubby isnt bb
I can get one cheap you think it worth a buy over a s15 bb?
depends how cheap!! your average s15 turbo goes for around 300 euros, so if there is a big saving go for it, they are laggier then the s15 turbos thoughQuote:

the s15 tubby is a ballbearing turbo which means quicker spool and more responsive people upgrade to the s15 tubby for all these reasons, their is very little lag with an s15 turbo also. how much can u get the gti-r turbo forQuote:

I agree. S15 is better option. GTIR turbo is an older journal bearing design and will be less responsive. For the sake of 200 euros extra you would be better off with the S15 turbo
Exactly the kinda answer I was lookin for thanks, not being a hump with the notes was curious as I didnt know anything about the gtir turboQuote:

make sure you get actuator and if u can try get oil and water lines aswel as the s15 bb is slightly bigger than standard tubbyQuote:
