I'm entertaining GT28RS or GT2871R option against the classic t3/t04e 50 trim .48 a/r

will it be worth the money? any first hand experiences about these two?

I personally have a GT28RS with the .86 exhaust side. It's an authentic Garrett too.

I find that it falls on it's face after about 6k. But that could be the stock cams.I've ported and polished the head, and gasket matched everything.

It spools up ridiculously fast, and on the street it's a blast. I've never dyno'd it, and have never had it 'tuned'. I use an aeromotive fpr, Z32 N62 MAF, and an SAFC II.Running the stock wastegates boost pressure at 12-14psi.

All this running out of a 3" stainless exhaust.

Any questions, let me know.
