So im in the market for a new turbo as my T25 on my S13 CA has play and seals are going...

Below is some prices I have collected:

1. Garrett GT28RS ( Disco Potato ) R11 500 ( Turbo Exchange )

* This would be my 1st choice, but unfortunately this is out of my budget for now.

2. GT28 Journal Bearing Turbo R4700 ( SpeedShop)

3. T28 R4100 ( SpeedShop )

4. T28/T3 R3500 ( Mr Turbo )

5. T28 R3600 ( Turbo Replacement KZN )

6. GT2876R R4500 ( Turbo Replacement KZN )

7. GT2871RS R4500 ( Turbo Replacement KZN )

I am leaning towards the GT28 Journal Bearing Turbo for R4700 from SpeedShop.

Just remember BB is not serviceable and JB is. So if you considering any BB thats not from a reputable source, then a full replacement would be required compared to a strip and replace, should anything go wrong with the turbo. Jus my 2c
