Did anyone see the DSport issue where they upgraded the stock t25 to turbonetics and got 290whp, super 60 turbine, t28 clipped sompressor wheel...I believe thats right. 550 bucks. upgraded heavy duty 360 degree bearing too.

But does that include a full rebuild as well? If it's 550 with a full rebuild of all the seals and bearings, then that's not a bad price.

I believe so, i was just thinking about spool time and such. To compare that turbo to the stock s15 turbo, which one would be better? I can get an s15 turbo for 700, and if it spools better, is the one Id rather have.

Fit better as in??? The T28 fits fine. Slight bending of the oil feed line and a different oil return.
