Higher end Turbos, The Garret GT28 or T3/t4 Options

[shid]

Yo In the other thread (Whats the best turbo?) some people are mentioning that for the real higher end of turbos a t3/t4 or Garret GT28 is good.. When I search the forums for these, I get no results however

So first off, any "street" information I should know about these turbos? I've already searched google and gotten the usual results, so I'm looking for opinions, feelings, hands on knowledge or anything.

Secondly, what else is required than whats required in the basic, low power install of a http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5574 (5S-SFTE install howto on this site). I know some more of the internals need to be upgraded to handle the power of a t3 or above.. but what? Besides the fuel pump

Also, any size differences? IE, is it actually physically possible to fit the t3/t4 turbo in there?

Thanks!

r you talkin about turboin the 5sfe? If you are then stick with the ct26... It will be more than enuf for the 5sfe.

Err, whats more than enough? In the other thread, it's described as "low boost/power." I don't mind having to save up for a bit, replace more parts and do more work, but I don't plan on spending money on a turbo to do it half heartidly (IE, low boost/power).

If I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this right, and spend the money and do the work I have to do to get the most out of my celi. (On that note tho, I DO plan on leaving my 5S-FE engine in there.. Switching the engine makes me feel dirty for some reason).

I've also heard that the ct26 can't handle more than 10 psi of boost at the max, and I'd rather see what else is out there..

Yeah, the nice thing about the ct26 is that it bolts up to the 3sgte manifold. To run a t3 you'll also have to buy an adapter. The ct26 is also a twin entry turbo, which helps spoolup time on a 4cyl slightly.
