thanx - will I feel a difference and what boost can one run with pump feul?

Hi Guys, I purchased a GT28 for my s13 CA18, will I have lag? The difference on the compresion wheel looks scary. :shock: I think the standard weel is 48mm and the gt28 is 54mm I spoke to couple of guys and they said it will be fine. The guy from mr. turbo said it will be fine. Would I also have to ...

Well if it's new and you base the price on the Autostyle turbo you were looking at, I'd say its good. I'm only really aware of price in the UK and they sell for £150 second hand. You don't need to replace the elbow, you just have to widen one or two of the bolt holes with a round file/dril bit. I'v...

R1200 and you can take it!

Hi Riekert, if there was no exhaust smoke on that sx I'll take it, only problem is i'm in jo'burg....

Hi Guys, I found someone in Pretoria that sells a T28 Garrett for R3900- and apparently only the downpipe should change (Downpipe = R140-)
It is'nt a ball bearing turbo though....
Does the pricing sound right or could you direct me to any other sellers?

Thank you for all the advice, I will then have to start shopping so I can give the GTI's a hiding again. The garrett I overhauled uses bushes.

What is the stock turbo model fit to the car?
I will rather keep it as is. Other option is to take the turbo to turbo exchange and let them have a look.... Will the t25 (GT1548 T2.5
) they have at Autostyle do the job?

Sorry I'm asleep, I did remove the compressor turbine - but marked it before removal. http://www.autostyle.co.za/category/performance%20par/ There is also a T3/T4 and the T25 i Mentioned if you see above link. Will I suffer LAG if i use that size? The turbines just started to touch the turbo housing...

No I did not have it ballanced before I put it back together but I did mark everything before disassembly. Also I did not remove the turbines from the shaft so the guy from turbo exchange said it is not necessary... Should I have replaced the shaft as well? I see autostyle sells a T25 Garrett for R3...

The car started to smoke a little and then more and more in a short while. I purchased a t2/t25 repair kit from turbo exchange. There is smoke at idle and when it is reved for the second time it gives a lot of smoke, Looks like a blueish smoke. I quess I would have to remove the manifold and let the...

ca18 exhaust smoke as soon as the engine heats up, have installed new turbo kit, same result.... any advice. I suspect the shaft on the turbo is worn... how can one determine if the smoke is from the engine or the turbo?
