    Gt28Rs is now on and running

    Hey guys,

    Thought I would update you with the progress of the 28rs onto my mk2 1.8T 20v.

    After Chirs, Matt and I stayed up to 4 am this morning fixing it all up we got her running. The turds at ATPturbo jipped me and only put a 7PSI spring in the EG even though I asked for 15 psi. No Worries though we had a spare TurboXS bleeder. ...

    All I can say is ....weapon, third gear wheel spins ahaha maybe fourth I don't know yet the testing ended when the BOV popped off the hose and by then we were so tired we decided to lock her up!

    I will get pics and vids this weekend.

    I want to say a big thanks to my best mate and occassional lover Yee man, he welded and helped with everything as always without him it wouldn't have really happened.

    A thanks to Matt for coming to play all the time especially until 4 am when he works at 6am.

    Also thanks to Adrian for being a gentleman a scholar, as always. (let us borrow the tig) and finally Tim for Pirtek Hornsby for sorting the **** heads out at Proflow.

              when does it hit boost? what spec turbo is it? (a/r?)

              I'm guessing you've got it at 15 psi atm?

              AGU motor or?

                I think you should have gone for a GT30/40 as they can have external gate setup and often spool up just as well as a smaller turbo but with no real limit on the top end potential unless you plan going past 25psi on a 2L turbo.

                I am sure it will happen now that the bigger turbo bug has bitten. When I changed from GT25 to GT30/40 I gained bottom end because the 4 inch smooth intake and smooth exhaust housing with no internal gate were that much more efficient

                        The 28RS the car is running has a rear housing with no internal gate (running a 38mm tial). The exhaust path is very smooth.

                        There is simply no need for a larger turbocharger, as it is (with a rich tune) 3rd/4th gear wheel spin is an issue.

                            Yep, I can personally vouch for this car, it is a true animal.

                            I drove it on the weekend and it is a scary little machine- if you so much as look at it the wrong way it WILL bite your nuts off!
