I have looked at the forum suggestion parts locater... phase2, heavythrottle, atp turbo, spl parts etc...

I need to do an upgrade on my turbo and I am looking for a place online to order a T28 turbo. My budget would be the S15 T28, also would i need to do any mods? I have already ordered the steel braded oil and coolant lines...after reading that it makes the upgrade easier. I really am considering sticking with the T28 since i still have stock internals, and stock MAF. I will be upgrading to a front mount intercooler as well, any suggestions?I am looking at doing these instalations soon, i will take pictures of all my work and i promise to post my progress. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

you can check out pictures of my car and mods done to it at my website.....http://www.ghostech.net

thanks.

What is your future power goal?This will tell me if your turbo is ok for that goal.

Is this a S13 engine or S14? If this is S13 motor, modifications to the compressor inlet and outlet pipe needs to be done.

Also, are you looking for a brand new turbo or used? If brand new, you might want to look into spending few more franklins to get a GT2871R

Umm, so was there a question in this post? The title states that you need a place to find one, and you mentioned you've looked through phase2, who indeed is selling new s15 t28's for $825. If you do consider moving to a 2871, you may want to look at cheapturbo, whose reputable with good prices.

Otherwise, just search the classifieds for people selling their t28's.

thanks... the year is a 91 S13. I have already recieved the S15 turbo. i already have the steel braided lines for the oil and coolant since i kept reading that it makes the instal much easier. I know that the oil return adapter has to be resized and make the bolt holes match up with the new turbo. what I am not too sure about is the inlet or outlet. can i use the S13 Blacktop SR intake and inlet to the new turbo? what about the outlet?

any info is greatly appreciated.
