www.atpturbo.com You can read about each turbo.
You have to decide whether you want to run and eliminator series with the stock manifold or run a full version of each turbo with an upgraded exhaust manifold and external wastegate if you wanted to.

 

i hear that the elimantor seris are not that reliable. would i be able to drive the car as a daily driver without any problems? also what wouls be the gain from upgrade the exhaust manifold

 

also i cant find the kits on ATP just hte turbos themselves

 

cincyTT and sean1.8T are the best guys to talk to about turbos. If you get both of them in this thread, they'll claw at each other's throats though.

Actually on second thought, I hope they do. It's always funny.

Anyways, back to the turbos - you should be able to drive the car daily, turbos don't make your car purely a race-track machine. You definitely need a new exhaust manifold, because the turbo is going to have a higher airflow, and you don't want backpressure anywhere. That could put severe strain on your engine. Think of it like you trying to blow air through a coffee stir straw (if you know what those are) as hard as you can - that's your upgraded turbo with a stock exhaust. The biggest your exhaust, the better the airflow.

 

Eliminator turbos are pretty reliable, i haven't heard much problems from them.
An example of an eliminatorGT28RS VS. a full GT28RS would be about 50 HP and an option to run an external wastegate. The full model of course is the better and much more expensive way to go which can provide you with more power.
I don't think you can get a turbo KIT per say from Garrett, you would have to put it together yourself or have a tuner piece it together for you with the correct tuning. You can however buy MIKA tuning from ATP and injectors for the specific turbo but MIKA sucks *****. I would suggest going to a company like REVO once you get the turbo and have them make the numbers you want.
If you want peace of mind buy the stage III kit from APR, AWE, or PES ect.

 

is 2.5 inch exhaust bug enough

 

Well 2.5 inch is about the smallest you would want to go with that turbo set up, it will spool faster with a 2.5 inch exhaust but you would get more HP with a 2.75 or 3 inch exhaust. That's something you should discuss with your tuner to get the desired result you want. For instance if your looking for quarter mile times i would think the 2.5 inch exhaust would be a little bit quicker down the track than the 3 inch exhuast, but i could be full of s***.

 

my bad completly wrong the borla 2.25 exhaust large enough?

 

where do i go to get software made for a Turbo.

also hat all mods do i need for a gt28r?

i love in catonsville, maryland. can i go to the APR shop like 45 min away and get ecu made for the turbo or what do i do?
