I know right? Plus it will drop right into my current setup. The only thing I'm *slightly* worried about is possibly having to cut out my shelf a little bit. I've been planning on cutting up the drivers side shelf to fit a bigger downpipe anyway, so a bit off the side wont matter much to me. Nothing a little weld and some paint wont fix

 

I stared with a CX RACING turbo kit, and my buddy has one. Never had a problem. Plus their feed back is good on ebay. t-28 without a complaint!!!

 

Taco link needs more wastegate parts to be complete.

 

Ill be swapping over my current wastegate actuator and a vband housing. There are some auctions that include those, but why pay for what I already have?

 

A couple of things to note though, at least with my turbo I had to:

Weld the wastegate flapper, it was like mm too loose and would get stuck.

The oil fitting was a bitch, I just eventually got it welded to keep it seated.

The oil drain didn't match a garret tb28's fitting so I had to drill out the fitting and get it welded to make it work.

I also had the vband cut off and the begi downpipe welded on...

I spent like 165 on the turbo...add in the BS extra stuff and it was about an additional 20(for the welds).


I'm curious if the tb28 and the t3/t4 ebay turbos share the same exhaust flange...

 

I'll be probably coming into Washington this summer to do some drag racing. I'll keep in touch

 

I was going to jump on this one, ar42 so it's a good amount smaller, but I'm not looking for much

T3 AR42 TURBO CHARGER INTERNAL WASTEGATE 45 TRIM NEW : eBay Motors (item 150410673331 end time Mar-03-10 21:40:32 PST)

 

That is basically what I'm running currently. Too small for my taste :(. It is a *good* size for a miata though

 

Just pulled the trigger. I feel like a ***** :/

 

And a cheap one at that Thanks for the info!

 

Let me know how it turns out, I'm thinking of switching my tb28 for one of those t3's.

 

Will do. I plan on doing comparisons of different configurations because I'll have a .63ar hotside and a .48ar hotside.

I also have an email into their support to figure out what they recommend as far as an oil feed line. I've heard some people say a restrictor helps. I'm dubious but I want to hear what they've got to say.

 

I ended up putting one in mine, but like I said the difficulty was the oil feed fitting. I think the 4an fitting or whatever I used didn't work very well.

 

Put a screen filter on your intercooler to catch all the debris from the exploding compressor wheel.








Just kidding.
