Re: Street Sleeper - GT28RS (SSAC) Is this turbo perfect?
in my old setup i ran a t3/t04e 60/63 57 trim and it would start making a couple psi by 3k, a full 7psi by 3800 (wastegate setting) and then 25psi by 5500...sounds like you have something amiss if you are getting 17psi that late...i would get 18psi between like 45-4800...(i have dataloggs showing all) and reving to 8k it had plenty of powerband. (stock head stock cam as well) i could see spending 150-200 bucks on an ssauto turbo...but almost 400....meh...im sure you could find a used garret for a hundred to two hundred more....and it would last alot longer.

yeah i believe that's a genuine garrett turbo.
I am not aware of knock offs with GARRETT written on them....
i have seen the chinese BB turbos. THey don'T read GARRETT...
but who knows.... MAybe they started doing it...
If this turbo was purchased for cheap on ebay, there's no magic: maybe it's got a Chinese center section though... with the garrett compressor cover of a blown garrett GT25R!!!
You can order the gt25R CHRA fro china for around 330$. MSRP from garrett for the real thing is 900$... One crooked guy gould make a living justn purchasing used GT turbos and repairing them that way, selling them as garrett turbos !!! THey will all fail of course but you do just like XSP does and you don'T honor your warranties and you're a happy camper!! (Mmmm... i just missed another opportunity to shut up!)

Yeah I personally just want this car for the street so I dont need crazy numbers, I havent lost a race with my huge turbo yet, I just dont like how it drives, I dont like how small my powerband is

I have a friend who bought a "GT34/40R" from SSAC that is exactly that. Garrett PN on the turbine matches up to Nismo T25 housing, has T04S cover with Garrett ground off, and CHRA bears no Garrett badge or place for one.
Have you ever seen a Garrett with that style script on it, BLAAST?
