What turbo am I running?

[horizontalkev]

Im running 16 psi boost, but what turbo is this? The pictures probably wont tell much maybe ill tear into it and count the fins later. But from the pictures what can be told?

It looks like the stock t25 turbo, It could also be t28 but you can't really tell from the outside as they use the same housing.

It should be a T25 Garrett. There are not a whole lot of identifying markers. The Turbine housing hold down clamps are the only thing that I can see well enough.

It's easy to tell the difference between the t28 and t25, but we'd need a picture of the compressor blade (take off the intake). More than likely, it's a stock t25.

I will take off the intake and get a picture of the compressor blade and repost. 16PSI is too high for a stock turbo for sure right? Unless my boost guage is inaccurate

Just so you know that bigger intake is actually hurting you so unless you upgrade to a turbo with the same size inlet your lossing power cause of added turbulence. Some people run 16 psi but I wouldn't run more then 14-15 without a wideband.

Here's pics of my 1999 GST's stock Garrett T25 turbo that came with the car new.

Is it really hurting my performance, By how much? I have a POS narrowband AKA a cool Light show. I am upgrading sooner or later.

And Luv2rallye- I will post mine up tomorrow.

Yeah get that pos narrowband out of there. As for numbers on how much your lossing it's hard to say but your loosing some for sure. Im sure there's a few thread on it on this site and if I get some time I'll post some

I dont think you can say your hurting your performance with a larger intake.

Ive read the thread your refering to and the horsepower gains and losses were so small it doesnt matter.

OP dont worry about your intake

Large intake do hurt power on smaller turbos, there was a thread with supporting data around here somewhere, I was trying it find it. Expecially when it is a quick change in size due to the reducer to fit the inlet, they found otherwise if the pipe gradually got smaller as it got to the turbo.

Get a pic of the compressor wheel (when intake is removed).

So in real life use I wont really notice much? Ive heard about the intake suddenly getting smaller to fit inlet of turbo before with noticeable loss but there wasn't any supporting facts where I saw it from.

luv2rallye- Will get one tonight been busy will post asap.

4g63t- How are you so sure?

Congratulations, you have a stock T25.


We already have a thread for this, by the way.

Before posting again, be sure to have photos of the wheels or even wheel specs if you can- without good photos or knowing info like wheel specs we may as well be guessing how much air you're running in your tires.
