Hey Guys,, I was at a local Jap tuner shop the other day and the kids there were talking about how that turbo was improved ?. I bought a DSport magazine and saw it in their SEMA products section.
Any truth or info on it out there..

 

Is it the one with the 11 blade compressor wheels ?

Compressor Wheel/Housing:
NEW GTX2871R BILLET / 11 blade / extended tip / drop-in compressor wheel
51.2mm
71.0mm
52 trim
NEW GT28R style compressor houisng / GT2871R 52trim / .60 A/R

Turbine Wheel/Housing:
Stock Garrett turbine wheel
53.9mm
76 trim
New GT28R T25 turbine inlet flange, 5-bolt GT discharge with professionally welded shut wastegate .64 A/R

 

So I would imagine that this should make for a better turbo over the old one..

 

Won't these still break stock rods?

 

Depends on fuel and tune.
