if u replace ur std turbo with T28....no manifold change required...direct fit 😉
prices are going for R3500 minimum(used) up to r4500 for new
(personally i never pay those prices)

Ernie and i are going turbo shopping tomorrow at SA Autoparts....depending on the prices i might also be picking up a T28 🙂

that the thing....it DOESNT cost R10k hehehehehhhe 😉

anyhoo...got confirmation back.....he has one left......needs to be reconed...so i have asked him to recon and balance.so in a nutshell....it will be in new condition when i get it.
awaiting sepcs(should be of a late model S14....not BB)
but like i said...exact specs to follow.....

what kind of time frame you looking at here?...how long would it take to get the turbo landed here in CT ?

....and the price after recon????

i waited about four weeks in total,but that was due to the sender having to fetch the package from the couriers everytime due to suspected oil leaks from teh package.....so after collecting about 3 to 4 times,it was eventually sent off.....after that arrived her no prob...had a tracking number of course.
so now that we know the full process involved...prob a week or so +-
sisnt argue......eithe wait a few extra days or pay triple the amnt for a used turbo here?!
