I was trying to find the specs on the "big 28" to compare it but I couldnt find them. What do you guys think and do you think it is similar to the big 28 or Heavy Throttle's hybrid?

Well from what i read Forced Performance won't release the specs to the Big-28 but they say it will boost to 25psi but its more like 21, and I also thought that Heavy Throttle stop selling their hybrid turbo and went with a Big-28 turbo. I do remember that when Heavy Throttle was selling their Hybrid Turbo that it made full boost at 4-4500rpms and made 300whp.

I tend to believe that Ebay turbo is junk, i'd stay away from it. They've been saying ".59lb/min" for the compressor as long as they've been trying to sell those....I think .59 lb/min MIGHT feed a lawnmower. And if that is supposed to be 59 lb/min, then there is no way that little thing will move that much air, and if it will, no way is it in its efficiency range.

That is why I was asking. I understand alot about turbos but I have never taken time to really learn compressor trims and what not so I dont know how that turbo would be on an SR.

their feedback (11,000!!!) gives them credibility

going through some of them I didnt see any for that turbo setup, mostly manifolds.

.59lb a min would be like 6hp. 59lb a min would be 590. I think both numbers are wrong.

Maybe the decimal is in the wrong spot. (bad math class memories-cant...breath...aaargh!) Im sure they meant 59 lbs a minute...but even if they did...thats a pretty ballsy statement from a little turbo like that one. But 300 whp hp for that price is pretty dman good if you ask me.
