Im looking at getting a T28 based turbo for my 1.8 miata, anyone have any recommendations? Brand, specs or performance feed back, Im going for around 225-250 HP.

U may want something with both water and oil cooling it will last longer!
(http://www.godspeedproject.com/store...18uqetm31mlis0 ). This one is oil only!

I thought water only increased oil longevity?

Or try to find a used GT2560. That would be great for your goals and you may be able to find one for a few hundred bucks.

What about the recent thread discussing the old borg warner S252 and S256 turbos? They sound like good turbos, when you can ffind a used one they seem pretty cheap.

they are an awesome turbo... if you want 500hp.

.348 kg/s = ~450CFM

Since thread is about chinacharger recomendations I'd say 2871 from godspeed.Though I love my godspeed 3076. If I had to do it all over I'd STILL pick this turbo over anything smaller. Its so smooth, and IMO not laggy at all.

How about the 2871 from bell? Anyone have any info on it on how it performs?
thanks,

I have the 2854 from bell and it is too small. I spike to 15-16 and it tapers off to about 13 by redline. But.... I have had the turbo on my car for over a year, and dd'ed it for about 15k. So no fear. I assume their 2871 comes from the guys that they got their 2854 from.

I love my Godspeed T28. Been running it for almost a year now and making baller power Link in signature.
Same one as thirdgen posted.

I checked out the T28 from Godspeed and i also found the exact turbo on another site for $320 also a godspeed product. Where did everyone get theirs from? Direct from godspeed or another vendor?

I bought mine from Ebay.

Hey take a look at this one:

Does that turbo look similar to yours dustinb? Maybe the vets can chime in if it would be any good. I do like that it is oil and water cooled although that isn't really a deal breaker either way...

If you need a FMIC they have super cheap ones sized right for our cars as well.

I know this Chinacharger and intercooler information is already on this forum, but I'll post this to help the OP...

Thanks. I didn't notice the casting difference at first glance. Go with the Godspeed as it has been proven.

Who else is running one besides you Dustin ? What was your previous set up and numbers. Did you port the godspeed turbo before install ? Was the flange flat and do they come with oil restriction?

I may have a bum GT2560, so if that is correct, I'll just run one of these while I decide to sell or fix my Garret. Isn't a new Garret CHRA nearly $500 !!

263HP, 241 Torque @ 14 psi

Looking at your dyno and specs can we speculate ?

What would be reasonable for a full 3", no CAT, magnaflow and VVT car give me with that? Maybe another 10-15hp and a bump the curve 100-300 rpm lower when it all starts to get fun ?
