Looks alright, depends entirely on the price it gets to, Im a little edgy about buying used turbos but if it went for like 300 id get it definatly not 500 though.

Okay thanks for the input.

That's a rip off. And besides, don't buy into that "rated 360" crap. I have a ported AGP T28 and at 21psi I'm just hovering near 300whp. It's a pain squeezing power from these little guys. If you're going to pay that much for a used turbo, get a new evo3 16G for $550.

i see what your saying, but i'm leaning towards the t-28 because i'm low on money. and i know i don't have the time to install a 16g.

From a budget standpoint, a used T28 at around 500 bucks sounds alright. But it's still a used turbo (don't you think the previous owner beat the snot out of it when he upgraded?) and at new 16G's at around the same price, with install kits that make it practically a bolt-on affair. In the long run you'll be happier with the 16G. I'd only get the used T28 if your T25 just kicked the bucket and you needed something to get your car running again.

dude im not kidding
go with the 16g
money is not an issue when swapping over
you HAVE to get new gaskets anyways. Your just adding a SS oil feed line, a J-pipe and a drain tube to the list. THATS IT

it only takes about 4 hrs to take out a turbo and replace it, we did my friends WRX in that time and it was all of our's first time doing an install like that.

shit you could just graba 14b and get some real power upfront and keep saving for a big 16g later and already have all the install parts on the car.

Please trust me.
Do as i say and you wont be kicking yourself later.

PS:
My Dyno #'s are a FP B.T-28 on 19psi

See this guy knows what I'm going through. We got practically the same turbo. But I wouldn't get a big 16g either, it's also a small turbo and not much better than a T28. No sense getting big 16G when evo3 16G is same price and much better potential, same install.

Hm I doubt you're making much power on that mod list.
