Yeah, the GT28RS was the turbo that really started the revollution for new/updated compressor/turbine technology. It showed that you could, in fact, have your cake, and eat it too. Quick spool up, and big power.. The "Disco Potato", known as the GT28RS, was originally designed by Rob and a few other guys, for a Miata engine. It was such a great turbo, that they turned prototypes over to people like JWT, Coleman, etc.. and those guys were the first to test with it on the SR. They also tested it on the QR25DE, which proved to be awesome. It started making boost at about 2K rpm, and made 325+whp on pump gas. I've personally taken one out to 350whp, on a low comp/built QR.

Anyways.. I'm rambling.. lol..

Yeah but wasn't the GT28RS designed specifically for FWD sentra's? I have not seen any RWD SR guys running them. I like everyone else on here is running a GT2871R. I wish I would have gotten the GT3076 instead. You can always make more power with boost. I understand the desire for top end in our cars but why would you pick a .63 A/R over a .83 or whatever A/R? Is the peak really that BIG of a difference?
