GT28RS.. anything similar? any users?
I've been looking at some honda dyno charts, with everything from T25's up to GT40's+, and i've really fell in love with the GT28RS low end torque made on smaller displacement engines.
does anyone have experience with running the disco potato? Is there an adapter plate that would allow me to bolt a GT28RS to my T3 flanged manifold?
the main reason i'm leaning in this direction is; i'm sick of having to rev my 1.6L (b16 torqueless shitplant) up to 5k rpm to accelerate with the lead foot commuters on our busy streets, and I want some torque during normal sub-5k rpm driving.
what would compare to the GT28RS without the big sticker price?

low 200hp turbos are pretty much all the same.

hey i will chime in as i used to have this exact question and desire, what i found that is cheap and competes is the big 16g turbo, the big 16g has incredible low end spool and ends up maxing out around high 200s maybe low 300s if parts are matched right. the 14b is also a great low end turbo but maxes out much sooner, and if you can afford it the bastard 20g from slowboy racing is a great low end with decent top end turbo.

They make a very small .36 a/r turbine housing for the T3 68 trim turbine if you're really wanting things to get moving, but .48 is totally acceptable.
