alternative to a t25 for not a lot of bank?

[starkos14]

hey, my t25 is pretty much done for. i found cheap replacement t25s but i was thinking of some type of upgrade, but im having a really hard time finding a s14 t28 or a used t28 in general. any other turbo's i should look at that wil fit my t2 flange? or if anyone has a t28 laying around, let me know. i'm not looking to spend $500-600 though

also, whats with people putting t28 wheels in the t25 housings. i dont fully understand all of the turbo lingo but im workin on it?

well yeah im looking, but they are pretty hard to find. i was thinking non-traditional sr turbos to look at if anyone knew of anything decent

[starkos14]

anybody have any input regarding the t28 wheels in the t25?

not a good idea to put the bigger wheels in the smaller housings... I mean, it does move slightly more air, but the whole physics of a turbo revolve around the ratio of inducer to exducer of the wheel (big end vs small end size of the fins), and the housing size. Big wheel in big housing > big wheel in small housing. There are a couple t28s on the forums for ~$400, pick one of those up.

Ya here is the t28/t25 you were inquiring about forced preformance makes them. http://linux.forcedperformance...Turbo.

Hmm...This sounds like a good idea to me. It will allow me to put some power down and in the meantime I could save for my GT35.
