T28 are expensive in general the cheapest one I saw going on ebay was for like $350. They are overall great turbos.

 

dude. blaastperformace.com son of a bitc that turbo is a piece.... get the 460 t3/t04 it will own your dinky t28..

i personally have A sc61 76 trim

 

damn it u nerd me and josh have told u... u need to upgrade..

 

That's what i am trying to do Foo, that t28 has a T3 super 60 compressor and it will probably spool up faster then your T3, so that is an upgrade from my tiny *** t25, the only reason i want to get THAT turbo is so i could retain my mani

 

I agree, the t28 is a perfect size for 1.6l, spools hella fast and will hang in for about 250hp without excessive heating of the intake charge(detonation). I was looking at these about 3 years ago and bought one off ebay for $150 in decent shape. Sold it a year later for $400. They are nice turbos, but don't pay more than $300 for a used turbo in nice shape. If its rebuilt, I wouldn't pay more than $400.

 

yeah i almost bought one in realy good shape for $355, i wish i was looking to buy one a year ago so i could get it for dirt...

 

they are not that easy to find for cheap any more, as recently almost every audi 1.8t guy is looking for this turbo as a great upgrade, so good luck finding a cheap one.
and if you do find a cheap one and decide not to get it please let me know
