Turbocharged said:It needs to have an external wastegate?! Its hardly bigger than your t25, I suggest you do your research.

spoolup said:4bang, like other have stated, the T28 does not need a tubular mani but if your going for it, AWESOME. I run a T28 with a 2g mani ported by FP, and am quite suprised at this little guy. pulls good and I have seet some pretty good times/ speeds with it, (12.8@111 at 4200ft elevation on the stock motor/ TB/ manifolds / suspension ect).
Now I am going to ask a few Q's please do not get upset but I am just making sure you know what you are getting into.
The T28 is modified T25 which already incorperates a internal gate. FP sells a 17PSI acuator which works nicely. To put a external wastegate on the mani with this guy you will have to have the flapper door welded shut. and even using a external WG the boost will still probally fall off. And why are you wanting to run a tubular mani? The T28 uses a mitsu ex housing so later if you decide to go bigger and more efficant, lets say a full garret T3 or T4 you will have to buy another tubular mani which is going to be costly.
Now to answer you question. DNP performance have had good resuslts with several cars in the area when it comes to cracking, and quality. So I am going to recommend DNP to you. They have several verisons from mitsu, T3, T4 with or without wastegate options. Site can be found here: http://www.dnperformance.com/eclipse.html
But take into concideration other things, such as cost, 600-1000 just for the manifold. Then the wastegate 240-380 depending on size ect. Then @50 for labor to have a welder modify the turbo. You will also need a boost controller. Looking at your profile your car is very lightly modded, so you SOON be needing a Fuel Pump, injectors, something to tune with (since your 95 I would recommend DSMlink). you need to get rid of the stock leaking BOV, and while at it upgrade the IC piping. so this is going to be a costly adventure. Make sure you plan it out before jumping in head first.
Again the above is just as a word of caution, it is not ment to intimadate or belittle you. Happy modding and boosting. The T28 is a fun turbo.
