T-28 turbo question
I have a t-28 turbo which the internals have been replaced in. I knew that when I got it.
The intake turbine instead of having say 6 blades on the turbine it has maybe 10 little blades and two for each blade where stock would have one.
I can see where someone would think this is confusing. Sorry if you can't understand my context.
The question I have is what is the pro and cons to this and how does this work?

Re: T-28 turbo question
depends on what applications. Are you gonna put this on your DSM? Either way, for anybody to actually tell PROS/CONS will be to see the flow specs of the turbo.

Yeah, sounds like whoever rebuilt it put a more modern wheel design in it.

thermal, I think he's talking about the compressor side not the turbine.

I was told it was based off a forced performance "big t-28" turbo.

Yes I believe that is the one.

Re: T-28 turbo question
t-28 really is a generic term.
you need to find the actual part number, or some other kind of identifying marks.
