Turbo Question!

**topdog** · 22-01-11, 13:03

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

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 settings

set to 0.6 and 0.8 bar boost pressure from standard that is....

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

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 though
