Help!

I got a GTO3, Looking to upgrade,

The gearbox is being upgraded, new manifolds, Roush Exhaust,

how much can I get out of the standard turbos, or Shall I go for the GT25RS, or the GT28RS, or would the 28s have too much spool up time, looking for around 500 bhp, but might go further later on when I get enough money to upgrade the engine.

Any ideas?


Thanks Wattsy

If you might upgrade get the Gt28 RS's from universal turbos

Can't remember but how long will the std internals last at 500bhp. I know some have run this but I believe it was only for a finite time?

Hey. How much for Cosworth pistons? I already have the 28 turbos and wouldn't mind getting more power.

Do you have the GT28RS's or the T28's turbos as there is a big difference(T28 are the standard M400 turbo's)
You need the GT28RS turbos for 600hp.
