Screw the T28... the T28 is good if you only want to run 15psi... i say get a good 16g. That way you can have some money left for an intercooler. If your on a budget... how about a Supra SMIC? Or of you dont want to get an intercooler just make sure you have removed all the plascit **** thats in front of it.

i have a question, how much boost are you pushing and how does the HKS SSQ sound? i'm in a debate on whether to go w/ GReddy type S or SSQ...

IMO i dont really like the HKS ssqv sound. to me its way to loud and ricey sounding. I like the greddy much better

ok well i got my buddys t-28 for like 100$ because he just got kicked out of his house and needed some money and his car is totaled. He has a fmic that he wants to sell me for like 50$ but i was thinkin i could just use my stock smic because its a t28 and not that big of a difference from the t25. If i put the fmic on my car with my t28 would it benefit me or would it actually hinder my performance? Also, what size injectors and fuel pump would be best for the T-28? Whats the limit on psi that the stock internals can hold? I want to do this right and dont wanna rebuild the engine because i was ignorant.

oh yea RCJr9186 the ssqv is nice if you recirculate it. It is loud but the recirculation kit quiets it down some and it dosent sound quite as ricey and it looks sweet under the hood. I've heard good things about the Greddy type S too so its up to you.

the t-28 really isnt even much of an upgrade, so you really could just stay with all the stock parts, (SMIC, fuel, ect.) on stock fuel you really dont want to boost anymore than 17psi. And even if the internals can handle more than that i dont think the turbo becomes effiecient over that boost. If you got the FMIC i think you would see alittle difference in the performance but not much. I dont think it will hurt though.

Yeah i dont like it either. Its too high pitched, and makes me want to punch something or someone(i dont know why...) BUT if you plan to run like 35+ pounds of boost, then they sound really sweet because they make a chugging double sound like CHH-CHHHHH

If its a huge fmic, it will hinder your performance....but if its not too big, FMICs always look pretty freakin sweet
