UK/Import Turbo specs

Yesterday someone told me that the UK car comes with a Garret T03? and the import comes with a T28? Does anyone know if this is right or wrong? I know every UK car I've been in seems to pull differently to pulsars I've been in.

No, they're talking out of their bottom :wink:

Uk cars have the same T28 as the jap ones, but it does say T3 in the uk sales brochure for some reason :roll:

The sales brochure is where this guy got his information from.

I was just wondering because i'm about to buy a new turbo :D

Don;t buy it in the UK.

Get it imported from the US or Japan.

Even of you get stung on the VAT and import you'll save about 40 - 50% which means you probably won't spend less but you'll get a lot more for your dosh :)

They both use a T28...

The T28 uses a T3 compressor wheel... Thats all...

Woah, I'm not about to buy a gtir. :) I've got one. I'm thinking of changing the turbo so I'm wondering where this T03 thing has come from. Cheers though Rishi, That's cleared that one up so I can get on with finding the turbo I want now. :)

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

I don't want to run more than 1.1bar cos I'm a fag. What's the best option for me? I wouldn't mind a T28 hybrid.

Looks like I'm in the same boat as you...

Anyone got recommendation for US/Jap suppliers?

Do a search on the forum for ATP, an American company who seem pretty cheap. Also look at Innovate performance who are selling upgrades. For 1.1Bar, just get your T28 with 360deg bearings to be safe and improve lag. I think this is the T28R rather than RS but am happy to be corrected as I've not checked recently.

Cheers,
Jim.
