Big28($800) will bolt right on, no mods to make it fit.... 320+RWH

you will have to change some things to make a S15 T28 work.

Hey buddy, i would recommand you to upgrade a few fuel system parts, before you deside to go with any upgraded turbo.

yes, listen to these guys. don't dump your money in a turbo just yet, you may end up killing your engine b/c of lack of fuel. start out slow with that money , and go with reliability... a new fuel pump from walbro is 101 usd, add a good 3 inch turbo back exhaust, around 500 total, bov used, around 100. these things will help your engine run alot better, and will give you a nice extra push, and the ever so lovable WUSH from the bov.
i've seen people here in atlanta, do the same thing on dsms... go with a bigger turbo, and then kill their engine. not a fun road.

well in that case. go with what the others guys said. a big 28 is probably your best bet. good luck though!

MadChild is correct. If you're gonna upgrade the turbo you'll need to upgrade the injectors also. More air being shoved in w/ the same amount of fuel could actually hurt your performance.

www.srswap.com has the big T28 kit for 2300 bucks..im not saying buy the kit from them cause you say you only want to spend 700 bucks. read what comes in the kit and try to put the kit together yourself. Research all the parts and see if it comes out cheaper. I would just buy it from them cause they have an excellent rep for reliability and customer support.
