Hi guys, was just wondering if this is a T28? I'm looking at buying it, but don't want to end up with another T25.http://i24.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/19/23/b334_1.JPGjavascript:;

I believe it is a T25, but it has the twin blades so I'm not sure.

I tried to put a picture in of the turbine wheel, but it didn't work. It has 9 blades. I read that means its a bigt28? The compressor housing does like kinda small to me in the second pictuere and looks different than in the first picture. Its on ebay, maybe I should pass. Seemed too good to be true.

Took a few minutes to look for a 16g for you... these are some good prices, you might want to inquire about.

Big 16G $180
Evo 3 16g $150
Small 16g $150
16g $150

That inlet looks way too big to be a t25.
Here's a picture of my old t25

Thanks so much for taking your time to look those up for me. Much appreciated.

Xsboost, thank you for your input also. I think it was a big t28, went for about 300.00 dollars, just didnt have that much doe. Thought I was going to get a really good deal, as it was only listed as a t28 and the bid was 150.00 till about 2 minutes till it was over .

I have a T28 and the numbers on compressor housing are just like mine

The housing numbers are just that... they are on a range of different garret turbos.

I had 3 T25s and the number were all the same on the T25, but then my T28 they werent the same... Im not too good with this number stuff

 

[T is for TURBO]

certainly looks like a T-28 to me. Here's my FP Big T-28. (outlet is modified... It used to be a T-25) The reason I say it looks like a T-28 is because of the amount of material around the inlet. If you look at xsboot's photo, you can see there is a beefy amount of material on the inlet (thickness) where as my photo and your photo looks like is as been bored out. And the fins on do not appear to be that of a T-25.

You guys have been so great, I love this site so much.

9 turbine blades = Big T28
10 turbine blades = T28
11 turbine blades = T25

It is a T28!
does it have a tag on it?
the Garrett part number for a T28 is 705329-0002!


just my $.02

Like T-for-turbo said, the amount of material on the compressor inlet is too thin to be a T-25. Its definitely a T-28.

Here is a picture I took when I swapped out turbos last summer.. notice the difference in thickness on the two compressor inlets.

Thanks alot guys, I ended up letting that one go, but I found another that was blown and picked it up for way cheap and am going to rebuild it. i was told the seals went and it has shaft play both ways, is that a big deal? Hope not. Neither of the wheels have bent fins or anything. Was just too good of a deal to pass up. Comes with a 2g manifold I can port and use on my 1g also. I'll post some pictures when I get it.
