well I just happend to see something last night to help you realize the weak state the t28 off a 26 are in.. At a local shop im friends with they were dynoing a rb26 s14.. I heard he was pushing 16.8 pounds of boost and right there i was like uh oh.. well after working with the afc on the dyno they desided to drive it on the street.. I was standing outside the shop when i heard them start coming back.. As soon as they hit the parking lot i could hear a chattering/clicking noise.. and when they got closer you could hear it really well.. It was coming from the intake side of the head. Once they began to dig into it to figure out what was going wrong they discovered metal blades in the intake manifold and in the head making there way into the cylinders.. what had happend was to much boost cause the wheel to grenade and shot pieces of the wheel into the intake.. the noise was the pieces of the wheel bouncing around on the valves in the head trying to get into the cynlinder.. So think about that.. I'd recommend like a japanese made t3/t4 of some sort if you trying to stay semi cheap.. and if your trying to spend some money then go with say a ball bearing garret gt3037 or gt3071R.. Or possibly a hks gt2835
