t25 wanted

[S18HAD]

im after a t25, mines smoking like hell so need a non smoker please, would consider a t28 but getting married in 11weeks so moneys a bit tight

[mike88]

Ive got one

£60 posted.. little bit of play as usual. Been on a car that hasnt moved for 4.5 years but only on 95k miles, and the car had no BMV so it was running actuator pressure from when the guy got the car..

[S18HAD]

isnt it the little bit of play that causes the smoke or am i barking up the wrong tree?

[mike88]

Its the worn seals that causes smoke..

[S18HAD]

ok that makes sense, i was told that play in the turbo cause the smoke. just waiting on a response for another turbo then will get back to you. still tempted to go down the t28 route

[mike88]

T28 is x4 as much! At least 200 for the turbo + adapters

theres a new one in the for sale for £170. its not garrett tho so bit unsure about it

[mike88]

Its your choice, obviously, but i wouldnt touch anything if it wasnt a big-named turbo (Garrett, HKS, Turbonetics etc).. I'd rather spend £170 on a s/h Garrett than a no-name knockoff..


Just looked on Ebay for you and there's no T28 or GT28s..

PM Wilky, he's probably got a couple of freshly rebuilt Garrett T28's

thats what i thought, will stay away from that one
thanks for the help mate, is it really worth the extra cost, ive allready got a one peice down pipe and elbow, 2 1/2 inch system large fmic with hard piping so would work well with what i allready have

[S18HAD]

all sorted now, thanks for the help

[mike88]

Even tho i'd love to sell you my T25, i'd still advise you to buy a T28.. You'll love it

if you are refering to my turbo for sale, i think yer a bit harsh callin it a knock off. was one on my 200 track car and seemed tae handle gettin its c**t kicked in every few weeks at knockhill with no problems

*edit to keep pedantic people happy*
